    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Shotgun injuries can lead to complex intra-abdominal and renal trauma.
    • Delayed complications, such as ureteral passage of foreign bodies, are rare but significant.
    • Understanding the etiology and management of 'buckshot colic' is crucial for patient care.

    Observation:

    • A case report details a patient with a shotgun injury to the abdomen and kidney.
    • The patient experienced delayed spontaneous ureteral passage of a shotgun pellet.
    • This event is a rare manifestation of post-traumatic complications.

    Findings:

    • The term 'buckshot colic' describes the clinical presentation of ureteral obstruction or colic secondary to a shotgun pellet.
    • Spontaneous passage of the pellet occurred, suggesting a nonoperative management pathway.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The case clarifies the definition and typical clinical course of buckshot colic.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the possibility of delayed ureteral complications following penetrating abdominal trauma.
    • Nonoperative management is often feasible for buckshot colic, reducing surgical morbidity.
    • Accurate terminology and understanding of this rare complication aid in diagnosis and treatment planning.
