Abstract
- Inguinal herniorrhaphy is the most frequent general surgical operation performed by pediatric surgeons, but some complications can usually be attributed to inappropriate approach and traumatic dissection. We experienced a case of acute renal failure due to bilateral ureter injuries after bilateral inguinal hernia repairs. The patient was a 3 month old male infant who presented as anuria and generalized edema after bilateral herniorrhaphy and was treated with peritoneal dialysis for 2 weeks. After 4 days of peritoneal dialysis, general conditions and symptoms were improved, but anuria persisted for 2 weeks. We performed IVP and abdominal CT. Both studies showed abnormal dye accumulation in peritoneal cavity. Ureteroneocystostomy on right and segmental resection of ureter and end to end anastomosis of left ureter were done without any complications. He has been doing well and has had normal kidney function. Therefore we report a case of acute renal failure due to bilateral ureter injuries after both inguinal herniorrhaphy with a brief review of literatures.
