[Laparoscopic treatment of an isolated ureteropelvic junction disruption following blunt abdominal trauma].
Isolated disruption of the ureteropelvic junction following blunt abdominal trauma is rare, although not exceptional. The diagnosis may be delayed. CT-scan with excretory phase imaging is the usual mode of diagnosis. The urinary tract can be repaired by an ureteropyelic anastomosis over a stent. The authors report the first case of an isolated disruption of the ureteropelvic junction following blunt abdominal trauma repaired by retroperitoneal laparoscopy.
