Calicovesicostomy surgery in the patient with ureteral rupture

Abstract

Transurethral lithotripsy (TUL) surgery, which is used to crush ureteral stones, can have complications, including bleeding, infection, ureteral stenosis, ureteral rupture, and ureteral avulsion. In this study, we present a 45-year-old woman who was referred, due to a right ureteral rupture during transurethral lithotripsy surgery. At first, the patient underwent ureteroneocystostomy surgery by a combination of boari flap and psoas hitch techniques. Due to the obstruction and necrosis at the anastomosis site, the patient underwent calicovesicostomy surgery.
