Rectosigmoid carcinoma occurring after ureterosigmoidostomy.

F J Harford, V W Fazio, L M Epstein

    Diseases of the Colon and Rectum
    |May 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Ureterosigmoidostomy surgery can lead to large bowel adenocarcinoma decades later. Long-term endoscopic and urine cytology surveillance is recommended for patients who have undergone this procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Ureterosigmoidostomy is a surgical procedure that reroutes the ureters into the sigmoid colon.
    • This procedure has been associated with an increased risk of developing certain cancers.
    • Long-term complications require ongoing investigation.

    Observation:

    • Two patients developed adenocarcinoma of the large bowel after ureterosigmoidostomy.
    • The latency period for cancer development was 40 and 53 years, respectively.
    • The 53-year interval represents the longest reported case in medical literature.

    Findings:

    • A significant delay exists between ureterosigmoidostomy and the onset of large bowel adenocarcinoma.
    • Adenocarcinoma can arise in the colon years after ureterosigmoidostomy.
    • The risk appears to be a long-term consequence of the surgical diversion.

    Implications:

    • Patients with a history of ureterosigmoidostomy require lifelong monitoring for colorectal cancer.
    • Endoscopy and urine cytology are crucial tools for early detection.
    • This highlights the importance of long-term follow-up in surgically managed patients.
