Case report: Azotemia secondary to bilateral ureteral kinking from ureteral stents placed at the time of bladder exstrophy closure.

Abstract

We report the case of a neonate who underwent bladder exstrophy repair on the second day of life. Bilateral ureteral stents were placed intra-operatively. Postoperatively azotemia developed secondary to kinking of the proximal ureter bilaterally. Issues in diagnosis and management are discussed.
