summary

The authors report a patient aged 24 years in whom a silk ligature put on' the vascular pedicle of the kidney during nephrectomy wandered through the ureter into the ureter into the bladder and underwent incrusation there. The nephrectomy was done as an emrgency procedurę when the patient was in a se-vere condition and it may be supposed that the pedicle and ureter were ligated with one ligature. Then the ligatur slipped down from the pedicle penetrating into the ureteral stump and was pushed along it down to the bladder owing to peri-staltic movements of the ureter. The initial diagnosis suggested the possibility of bladder tumour. Transurethral removal of the stone containing the ligature and the silk thread was followed by ćure.
