Abstract:
Hematuria in an orthotopic neobladder is a difficult entity to manage due to its' unique anatomic and physiologic features. Infection, stone disease, primary bowel mass, and recurrent urothelial cell cancer are among the causes to consider. Here, we report a case of a 61 year old male who developed hematuria secondary to neobladder varices which was managed with TIPS (Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt) and variceal embolization.
