A case of bladder and pelvic dead space inflammation successfully treated with endoscopic ultrasound drainage.
Clinical Case Reports 2023 October
KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Interventional endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is effective not only for biopsy, but also for abscess drainage. We report the first use of EUS to drain inflammation of the bladder and pelvic dead space through the ileal conduit. EUS-guided drainage is effective in treating postoperative abscesses and should be employed more routinely.
ABSTRACT: The patient was a 77-year-old man with a vesicoureteral fistula. An ileal conduit was placed after abdominoperineal resection and partial bladder resection for local, postoperative recurrence of rectal cancer. During postoperative chemotherapy, the patient developed a high-grade fever and after a thorough examination, he was diagnosed with bladder and pelvic dead-space inflammation. All urine flowed through the ileal conduit, and it was assumed that secretions from the residual bladder and prostate gland had accumulated in the bladder and pelvic cavity, resulting in infection. A transcutaneous drain was inserted through the perineum and the infection was controlled, but it flared up again after the drain was removed. We concluded that long-term drainage was necessary and successfully controlled the infection by placing a plastic stent through the ileal conduit into the bladder and pelvic dead space under ultrasound endoscopy. This is the first report of ultrasound endoscopic drainage of an abscess through the ileal conduit.
