Ileal conduit perforation-iatrogenic injury and conservative management.
The ileal conduit was popularized by Bricker in the 1950s. Since then, surveillance of the upper urinary tract has been accomplished with intravenous urography, ultrasonography, or loopography. Loopography is used as an imaging modality at our institution because of its safety and avoidance of intravenous contrast. We report the first case of an iatrogenic rupture of an ileal conduit during loopography.
