Isolated ureteral injury secondary to transperitoneal stab wound. 1976

R Rabinowitz, and S E Price, and M M Marshall, and D H Barnhouse, and Johnson SH 3RD

The patient reported suffered a transperitoneal stab wound resulting in the isolated complete transection of the left upper ureter. In spite of immediate exploratory laparotomy, the time of recognition of the injury was delayed. The treatment consisted of an ellipitcal spatulated everting uretero-ureterostomy with interrupted fine chromic catgut over a stenting ureteral catheter. The postoperative course was smooth and the final result excellent. The importance of intravenous urography in penetrating abdominal or flank trauma cannot be overemphasized. This is the first reported case of isolated ureteral injury secondary to transperitoneal stab wound.
