Brief narrative description of case
A previously healthy 64 year old female presenting 10 days post bladder sling repair operation with intractable vomiting, bilateral flank, and abdominal pain. Her vital signs are relatively normal, and her nausea improves with several treatments for nausea. Her exam reveals abdominal pain and flank pain, so a point of care ultrasound is done, showing moderate hydronephrosis right > left with hydroureter bilaterally and a foley balloon in a mostly decompressed bladder. She is admitted to urology for bilateral ureteral decompression and revision of her surgery due to physical obstruction of ureters.
