Bilateral ureterostasis after rectal extirpation

Abstract

The paper describes a rare case of bilateral uterostasis that occurred in the early postoperative period in a female patient after abdominoperineal rectal extirpation and resulted in complete occlusion of both kidneys. The timely diagnosis of this rare complication could recover urinary passage along the ureters and prevent renal failure in time. The differential diagnosis of this rare complication due to intraoperative damage to the ureters (their transection or ligation) is important in medical practice.
