  • Title: [Ureteral lesions caused by external trauma: diagnosis and treatment].
    Author: Soria Ruiz JS, Fernández Fernández A, Gómez Martínez I, Martínez Castellanos F, Cabezudo Hernando I, Virto Bajo J, Otero Mauricio G.
    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 1995 Mar; 48(2):123-7. PubMed ID: 7755417.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: We report our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of ureteral injury. METHODS: Review of the experience in our hospital. RESULTS: We describe two cases of complete rupture of the ureter from blunt and penetrating abdominal trauma that had been recognized late. A urinoma was the presenting feature in both cases. Treatment was by end-to-end anastomosis in the first case and by appendix interposition in the other case. CONCLUSIONS: Ureteral injuries owing to abdominal trauma are usually silent. Veriform appendix interposition of the ureter is, in selected cases, a therapeutic option.
