Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Nephrectomy is a common surgical procedure for various kidney conditions.
  • Stones in the ureteral stump are an infrequent complication following nephrectomy.

Observation:

  • Two cases of ureteral stump calculi presenting years after nephrectomy are reported.
  • These calculi occurred in the residual ureteral segment after kidney removal.

Findings:

  • The etiology of ureteral stump calculi is not well understood.
  • Possible mechanisms for stone formation in the ureteral stump are reviewed.

Implications:

  • Understanding the etiology may help prevent ureteral stump calculi.
  • Further research into the management of these rare stones is warranted.
