Role of postoperative renal ultrasound in identifying ureteral injury despite normal intraoperative jet flow
Normal intraoperative ureteral jet flow does not preclude ureteral injury, particularly those with delayed presentation, such as thermal damage. Early postoperative renal ultrasonography is a valuable non-invasive screening tool that identifies a significant proportion of injuries missed by cystoscopy alone. Comparative evaluation of routine postoperative ultrasonography with preoperative imaging may provide a meaningful contribution to the early diagnosis of ureteral injury following TLH.
