Isolated ureteral injury following a stab wound: A case report

Sang Hyun Park Ki Hoon Kim

Abstrak

Ureteral injuries reportedly occur in 2–5% of gunshot wounds to the abdomen, and are even rarer in abdominal stab wounds. Ureteral injuries are usually silent and produce no early signs or symptoms. An unrecognized or mismanaged ureteral injury can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. A 34-year-old woman was transferred to our emergency department from another hospital after removal of a knife on her abdomen. She was diagnosed with isolated ureter injury. An uretero-ureterostomy was performed after stenting of the ureteral catheter. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 12.
