The Mitrofanoff urinary diversion can lead to stomal stenosis, complicating catheterization. This study reports a new complication: acute appendicitis secondary to stomal stenosis.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Complications
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • The Mitrofanoff procedure creates a channel for bladder management.
  • Cutaneous stomal stenosis is a known complication, hindering catheterization.
  • Appendicitis is a common surgical emergency, typically unrelated to urinary diversions.

Observation:

  • A patient with a Mitrofanoff urinary diversion developed stomal stenosis.
  • The stomal stenosis prevented normal catheterization.
  • The patient subsequently presented with symptoms of acute appendicitis.

Findings:

  • Acute appendicitis was diagnosed in the patient with stomal stenosis.
  • This represents a novel complication of Mitrofanoff stomal stenosis.
  • The mechanism linking stomal stenosis to appendicitis requires further investigation.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider appendicitis in patients with Mitrofanoff stomal stenosis presenting with abdominal pain.
  • Further research is needed to understand the pathophysiology of this association.
  • This finding may influence the management and follow-up of patients undergoing Mitrofanoff urinary diversion.
