Endourological re-establishment of a disrupted infundibulum after renal laceration

Urol Int. 2006;77(4):362-4. doi: 10.1159/000096342.

Abstract

We report a case of severe urinary extravasation after renal contusion and its successful management by endoscopic creation of a neoinfundibulum. When the stenotic infundibulum cannot be traversed with a guide wire, creation of a new infundibulum will offer a secure alternative for accessing the collecting system.
