Ureteric obstruction of the transplanted kidney is the most common late urological complication and is caused mostly by ureteric stricture. We report the case of a patient who developed ureteric obstruction following trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal repair of a recurrent inguinal hernia (TAPP). High level evidence exists to support the laparoscopic approach to recurrent inguinal hernia repair; however, this case reports the potential complications and difficulties that may occur in the presence of a kidney transplant.

A 67-year-old male renal transplant patient presented with a right inguinal bulging mass, and was diagnosed with a right indirect inguinal hernia. The day following inguinal herniorrhaphy, serum creatinine became elevated. The patient was oliguric and had abdominal pain on the first day after inguinal herniorrhaphy with a mesh. We diagnosed him with acute renal failure and subsequently performed acute hemodialysis. The kidney computed tomography showed hydronephroureter, with distal ureter obstruction. With urgent percutaneous nephrostomy, we were able to relieve the obstructive uropathy with distal ureteral stenosis. Subsequently, hernia repair was performed with removal of the mesh, followed by the antegrade ureteral stent insertion. Renal function was recovered after ureteral stent insertion. This case shows that acute renal failure can occur due to ureteral obstruction, complicated by an inguinal hernia repair, and this can be successfully treated with percutaneous nephrostomy and inguinal hernia repair with mesh removal.

Hernias of pelvic floor are very rare condition, and herniations of ureter into sciatic foramen are extremely rare condition which is globally reported only by 32 cases. Clinical aspects of ureterosciatic hernias appeared variously according to the degree of hydronephrosis, inflammation and infection of kidney due to ureter obstruction. Herein, we report our experience of laparoscopic repair in a patient with ureterosciatic hernia combined urosepsis.
