Spontaneous, unremitting gross hematuria occurring one week after laparoscopic donor nephrectomy.
Complications associated with the ureteral stump after nephrectomies rarely occur, especially after donor nephrectomies. The potential for the slippage of clips is a well-known event associated with vascular ligations. We report on the first case of clip slippage from the ureter and describe diagnosis and management of the most extreme of morbid presentations.
