One of the long-term complications of urinary diversion, urolithiasis, is influenced by factors such as bacterial colonization, urinary stasis, mucus, and anatomical abnormalities. Stones are typically observed in the upper urinary tract, and they are rarely seen in the ileal conduit. Although endoscopic surgery can be used for the treatment of stones in the ileal conduit, it is predominantly treated with open surgery. We report a 28-year-old male patient with 282 urinary stones, the largest of which measures 8 cm, found in the ileal conduit. The case is evaluated in terms of treatment and surgical approaches.
Abstract
One of the long-term complications of urinary diversion, urolithiasis, is influenced by factors such as bacterial colonization, urinary stasis, mucus, and anatomical abnormalities. Stones are typically observed in the upper urinary tract, and they are rarely seen in the ileal conduit. Although endoscopic surgery can be used for the treatment of stones in the ileal conduit, it is predominantly treated with open surgery. We report a 28-year-old male patient with 282 urinary stones, the largest of which measures 8 cm, found in the ileal conduit. The case is evaluated in terms of treatment and surgical approaches.
