ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Surgical exploration in complete ureteropelvic-junction disruption (CUPJD) is still recommended by many authors. Conservative approach to pediatric renal trauma (RT) includes minimally invasive techniques such as nephrostomy, angioembolization or double-J stent placement. CASE REPORT A 14-year-old patient with CUPJD was treated conservatively. CT-scan revealed active bleeding of the renal artery and significant urine extravasation. Coil angioembolization and nephrostomy placement were performed. An attempt to place a double-J stent was unsuccessful and surgical reconstruction was scheduled. Before surgery, methylene-blue was injected through the nephrostomy observing blue urine output through urethra. Antegrade pyelogram revealed drainage from the urinoma to the ureter. A new attempt to place an internal-external double-J-stent was successful. After 5 weeks, it was removed with total restoration of the urinary tract.

CONCLUSION:

Complete urinary tract restoration in some cases of CUPJD following RT is possible through a nonoperative approach. It can be safe and effective, reducing the risk of complications associated with complex surgeries.
RESUMEN

INTRODUCCION:

Muchos autores siguen recomendando la exploración quirúrgica en casos de avulsión completa de la unión pieloureteral (ACUPU). El abordaje conservador del traumatismo renal (TR) pediátrico incluye técnicas mínimamente invasivas como la nefrostomía, la angioembolización o el catéter doble J. CASO CLINICO Paciente de 14 años con ACUPU tratada de forma conservadora. El escáner reveló la presencia de una hemorragia activa en la arteria renal, además de una importante extravasación urinaria. Se practicó angioembolización con bobinas y nefrostomía. Se intentó colocar un catéter doble J, sin éxito, por lo que se programó reconstrucción quirúrgica. Antes de la cirugía, se inyectó azul de metileno a través de la nefrostomía, observándose salida de orina azul a través de la uretra. La realización de una pielografía anterógrada reveló la presencia de drenaje desde el urinoma hacia el uréter. El segundo intento de colocar un catéter doble J interno-externo sí resultó fructífero, retirándose al cabo de 5 semanas, con restauración total del tracto urinario.

CONCLUSION:

La restauración completa del tracto urinario en algunos casos de ACUPU tras TR es factible sin necesidad de recurrir al abordaje quirúrgico. Se trata de un proceso seguro y eficaz que disminuye el riesgo de las complicaciones propias de las cirugías complejas.
