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.
