  • Title: [Urinary lithiasis after using mechanical suture procedures for Bricker's operation. Apropos of a case].
    Author: Gandet O, Ybert G, Chautard D, Lanson Y.
    Journal: J Urol (Paris); 1986; 92(5):301-2. PubMed ID: 3782847.
    Abstract:
    A further case is reported of urinary tract lithiasis developing around a metallic clip used to suture an ileal fragt during Bricker's operation. Although the calculus developed without provoking complications and was evacuated spontaneously through the stoma, the question is asked, after a literature review, whether it is justified to use mechanical suturing for transintestinal cutaneous anterostomies. The moderate gain in time (15 to 20 min) seems counterbalanced by the increased cost and definite risk (2 to 4%) of lithiasis on metallic clips.
