Summary
Ultrasound-guided puncture successfully relieved acute urinary retention in an ileum conduit patient. This minimally invasive technique resolved severe kinking and compression, preventing further retention episodes.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Ileum conduit urinary diversion is a common procedure for bladder cancer.
- Complications can include urinary retention due to conduit kinking or compression.
Observation:
- A 68-year-old patient presented with acute urinary retention three years post-ileum conduit diversion.
- Ultrasound revealed a severely dilated conduit and kidneys, with kinking preventing catheterization.
Findings:
- Ultrasound-guided puncture successfully aspirated 170 mL of urine from the ileum conduit.
- A 16F catheter was subsequently placed easily, draining clear urine.
Implications:
- This technique offers a minimally invasive solution for acute urinary retention caused by ileum conduit kinking.
- It can prevent the need for more invasive surgical interventions.
- Successful management suggests potential for broader application in similar cases.
