    Summary

    A patient experienced recurrent peritonitis due to a chronic urinary tract infection after surgery for a urethral stricture. This case highlights potential complications following trauma surgery and infection management.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Post-traumatic urethral strictures can necessitate surgical intervention.
    • Chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs) pose a risk for serious intra-abdominal complications.

    Observation:

    • A 42-year-old male patient underwent two surgeries within a year for acute, diffuse peritonitis.
    • The peritonitis was suspected to stem from a chronic UTI.

    Findings:

    • The chronic UTI was linked to a prior successful surgical correction of a posttraumatic urethral stricture.
    • Recurrent peritonitis was a complication in this specific case.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of vigilant monitoring for UTIs after urethral reconstructive surgery.
    • Early detection and management of chronic UTIs are crucial to prevent severe intra-abdominal sepsis.
    • Consideration of genitourinary complications is vital in patients with a history of urethral trauma and surgery.
