Introduction: Spontaneous ureteric rupture is an extremely rare cause of acute abdominal pain in the intrapartum and postpartum period. We present the case of a right ureteric rupture diagnosed immediately postpartum.
Case: A 23-year-old woman in her second pregnancy (who had had a previous caesarean section) developed acute-onset right-flank pain 12 h after vaginal delivery. A contrast computerized tomography scan suggested a ureteric injury; ureteroscopy diagnosed a proximal ureteric rupture and a stent was placed.
Discussion: This case outlines an extremely rare cause of abdominal pain in the peripartum. There can be serious complications, including urinoma, abscess and sepsis, and therefore the diagnosis should not be delayed.

One of the most challenging aspects of urology is restoring patency to ureters with long defects. In certain cases, it may not be feasible to perform plastic surgery on the ureter with its own tissue or bladder. In such instances, alternative solution like appendicular ureteroplasty may be promising solution.

Article Synopsis
- - The case study highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and personalized management in treating complex bladder injuries, specifically a patient with a significant Grade V injury.
- - In this instance, conservative treatment failed, leading to a decision for a less invasive procedure that involved using an external catheter, allowing the bladder to heal without exposure to urine.
- - The successful outcome of this innovative approach demonstrates that careful monitoring and customized treatment plans can lead to positive recovery even in challenging cases of bladder trauma.
