Hydronephrosis Caused by Polyglycolic Acid Spacer Placement Prior to Carbon Ion Radiotherapy for Local Recurrence of Rectal Cancer: Case Report
In this case, a PGA spacer was inserted laparoscopically and hydronephrosis occurred early due to ureteral stenosis. Although the ureteral stenosis in the early postoperative period was thought to be caused by the PGA spacer, the persistence of ureteral stenosis was thought to be a late adverse event of CIRT. In cases where the ureter is exposed, such as after lateral lymph node dissection with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, prophylactic ureteral stenting before inserting a PGA spacer may be considered.
