Ureteral avulsion caused by through and through penetrating injury of the pelvis

Abstract

Ureteral avulsion is one of the rare cases in urology considering that this structure is well-protected in retroperitoneal location. However, the presence of penetrating pelvis injury should raise high clinical suspicion that ureteral avulsion may present in this case. We report the case of ureteral avulsion in patients caused by through and through penetrating injury of the pelvis. We managed ureteral avulsion by performing end-to-end anastomosis along with ureteral stenting. A multidisciplinary approach was performed to treat other structural damages. Finally, after two months, ureteral stent was removed and ileal-re-anastomosis was performed.
