An Uncommon Complication of Ileocystoplasty for Bladder Tuberculosis

Abstract

These days, genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB) rarely occurs in conjunction with pulmonary tuberculosis. Reconstructive surgery for GUTB has also decreased but may still be done in case of a grossly distorted genitourinary anatomy and dysfunction that are unlikely to regress with chemotherapy alone. Reconstructive bladder surgery for GUTB is a well-established procedure. The various complications associated with the reconstructive surgery have also been well documented. We present a case of an uncommon complication after ileocystoplasty.
