|January 14, 2017
Summary
Iatrogenic vascular lesions like pseudoaneurysms or fistulas are rare after partial nephrectomy. Early detection using imaging is key for patients with enhancing masses and hematuria post-surgery.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Vascular Surgery
- Radiology
Background:
- Partial nephrectomy, a common procedure for kidney tumors, can rarely lead to iatrogenic vascular lesions.
- Renal pseudoaneurysms and arteriovenous fistulas are uncommon but significant complications.
- These lesions may present as enhancing masses in the surgical bed post-nephrectomy.
