Summary
Complete ureteral avulsion during ureteroscopy can be managed with pyeloureterostomy and omentum investment. This surgical approach offers a viable solution for severe ureteral injuries, ensuring successful patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Complications
- Reconstructive Surgery
Background:
- Complete ureteral avulsion is a severe complication of ureteroscopy.
- Management strategies for full-length ureteral avulsion require effective solutions.
Observation:
- A 40-year-old male experienced complete ureteral avulsion during ureteroscopy.
- The patient underwent pyeloureterostomy with omentum investment and ureterovesical anastomosis.
- Follow-up over 34 months showed successful management, including later treatment for a ureteral stone.
Findings:
- Pyeloureterostomy combined with greater omentum investment and ureterovesical anastomosis is a potentially effective treatment for complete ureteral avulsion.
- The surgical technique facilitated successful reconstruction and long-term management of the ureteral injury.
Implications:
- This case suggests a promising surgical option for managing complete ureteral avulsion.
- The findings may guide urologists in treating similar complex ureteral injuries.
- Further studies are warranted to validate this approach in a larger patient cohort.

The diagnosis of renal calculi involves several imaging techniques, including non-contrast CT scans and ultrasound. These methods help visualize kidney stones, assess their size and location, and detect possible obstructions. Additionally, Measuring urine pH is useful for diagnosing specific stone types, such as struvite (alkaline pH) and uric acid stones (acidic pH). Cystine stones are primarily linked to cystinuria, a genetic condition. A urinalysis helps detect blood in the urine (hematuria)...

AssessmentSubjective Data: Obtain a detailed health history, including any recent or chronic urinary tract infections, periods of immobilization, previous episodes of renal calculi, and medical conditions such as gout, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or hyperparathyroidism. Review the medication history for drugs that may influence stone formation, including allopurinol, analgesics, loop diuretics, or thiazide diuretics. Document the use of long-term indwelling catheters and any past surgical...

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...
