Perforation of continent caecal reservoir for urine twice in one patient
Abstract
Perforation of a continent caecal reservoir, presumably during catheterization, occurred twice in a 64-year-old woman, 52 and 59 months after urinary diversion, during hyperglycemic confusion. Acute overdistension of the reservoir, creating high tension in its wall, with resulting weakness, could have been an underlying cause of the perforation. Awareness of this potentially lethal complication in patients with augmented bladder or continent urinary reservoir is necessary.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
