It was reported on (b)(6) 2017, a 65-year-old male patient with bladder cancer and incidental adenocarcinoma of the prostate underwent a radical cystoprostatectomy, lymph node dissection and formation of an ileal conduit using the bander ureteral open end stent set.As reported, nothing was noted immediately.Four days post operatively, patient¿s temperature was raised and his abdomen distended.His white cell count (wcc) was also elevated.Computerized tomography (ct) scan showed dilated jejunal small bowel loops, post-operative ileus likely cause.No significant intra-abdominal collection.The stent had gone through the cortex of the kidney.The stent was left in-situ but repositioned in theatre by pulling it back under x-ray guidance while the patient was awake.Patient suffered an episode of venous thromboembolism within 90 days of discharge.Presented separately and investigated by vte team.No concerns with care.As reported, there is no long term sequalae or consequence due to occurrence with stent.
