Is A Mildly Dilated Right Pelvicalyceal System Complicated?
i was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the endometrium and ge junction leiomyoma fro which I had radical hysterectomy - not followed by radiation or chemo. After 20 months an ultrasound indicates mildly dilated right pelvicalyceal system. How is this going to impact me? Is it something complicated?
The mildly dilated right pelvicalyceal system could be because of the previous surgery. It is possible that the ureter of the right side has partly gotten blocked due to the surgery. Another possibility is that there may be a recurrence in the area of the ureter. Lastly, it may just be the result of a mild urinary infection or stone. I would suggest that you get a contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen. That will settle the issue.
