Rare case of urinary tract infections and the "forgotten" solution.

This report presents a rare case of recurrent urinary tract infections in a kidney transplant patient. Analysis revealed a ureteral stump calculus 31 years after bilateral nephrectomy which was disintegrated by means of flexible ureteroscopy and holmium laser. In case of unexplained recurrent urinary tract infections and abdominal pain, urolithiasis in the ureteral stumps should be considered. PMID: 26143941 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
