Plasenta akreata cerrahisinde tesadüfen saptanan idiopatik megaüreter

Öz

Üreter varyasyonları sıkça görülmekte olup, en sık çeşidi çift üreterdir. Nadir bir çeşit olan genişlemiş ureter ‘megaüreter’ olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Primer veya bir anormalliğe bağlı olarak sekonder olabilir. Primer megaüreterin ana nedeni fonksiyonel olmakla birlikte sekonder tipi ise anatomic bir darlık nedenli veya mesaneden idrar akışına doğuştan gelen subvezikal engel nedeniyle olmaktadır. Bu vakamızda, 35 yaşında plasenta akreata spektrumlu ve 5. sezaryenini olacak bir kadını sunduk. Sezaryen histerektomi yapıldı ve cerrahi sırasında retroperitoneal alan kontrolünde sağ üreterin ciddi şekilde dilate olduğu gözlendi. Üreter dilatasyonu araştırıldı ve idiopatik olduğu tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak, major jinekolojik cerrahilerde üreterler mutlaka kontrol edilmeli ve dilate üreterin her zaman iatrojenik bir komplikasyon olmadığı unutulmamalıdır.

Idiopathic megaureter incidentally detected during placenta accreta surgery

Öz

As ureter variations can be seen common and the most common type of is duplication. Rare type of a variation is widening of ureter which is defined as ‘megaureter’. It can be primary or secondary to an abnormality. The main cause for primary megaureter is functional while for the secondary is due to an anatomical narrowing or an inborn subvesical obstacle to urine flow from bladder. In this case, we presented 35 years old woman diagnosed with placenta accreta spectrum and fifth cesarean section. We performed cesarean hysterectomy and during the surgery, it was observed that the right ureter was severely dilated during the retroperitoneal control of surgery area. Dilatation of ureter was evaluated, and it was diagnosed as idiopathic. In conclusion, despite ureters should be checked during major gynecological surgeries, detection of a dilated ureter during surgery does not always mean an iatrogenic complication.
