Urinary Ascites - A Consequence of Intraoperative Injury.

ABSTRACT

Patients with complications after surgery often pose enormous challenges to physicians. We report the case of a young lady developing fever, oliguria and intractable ascites refererred to us after undergoing abdominal surgery. She was diagnosed subsequently to have a urinoma with urinary ascites masquerading as a case of sepsis. Percutaneous nephrostomy followed by definitive repair and reimplantation of ureter later led to subsidence of the symptoms.
