Summary

Nonabsorbable silk sutures can cause serious complications years after surgery. This case highlights bladder stones, kidney infections, and urethral strictures, successfully treated with lithotripsy.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Surgical sutures are essential in wound closure.
  • Nonabsorbable sutures, like silk, are used for long-term tissue support.

Observation:

  • A patient developed complications 2 years and 7 months post-cesarean section and hysterectomy.
  • Complications included a large bladder stone, recurrent pyelonephritis, and urethral stricture.

Findings:

  • Nonabsorbable silk sutures were identified as the cause of the severe complications.
  • The vesical stone formation and urinary tract issues were directly linked to the retained sutures.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for delayed complications from nonabsorbable surgical materials.
  • Highlights the importance of considering suture material in the differential diagnosis of late-onset urinary tract issues.
  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment, such as lithotripsy, can lead to full patient recovery.
