Early and late complications of uretero-enteric anastomosis.

The authors report on early and late complications of uretero-enteric anastomosis. The results of pre- and postoperative US evaluations in 67 patients with urinary diversion using isolated bowel segment are reviewed. Ultrasonography (US) is the first method of choice in recognizing postoperative complications. Authors observed 5 early and 5 late complications directly related to the uretero-enteric anastomosis operation. Possible treatment modalities and the role of US guided nephrostomy are discussed.
