The nonmetal suture securing Lapra-Ty clip (LTC) and vessel ligating Weck hem-o-lock clip (WKHL) are useful tools for the laparoscopic surgeon. We report the postoperative computed tomography (CT) scan appearance of these clips. The CT imaging of patients who underwent urologic surgery demonstrate the WKHL and LTC to be radiopaque. Urologists and radiologists should be aware of the radiographic appearance of the LTC and WKHL given the ease with which they could be confused with urinary lithiasis when applied near the urinary system.
用于固定的非金属缝线拉普拉-蒂夹(LTC)和血管结扎韦克血管锁夹(WKHL)是腹腔镜外科医生的有用工具。我们报告了这些夹子术后计算机断层扫描(CT)的表现。接受泌尿外科手术患者的CT成像显示WKHL和LTC是不透射线的。鉴于在泌尿系统附近应用时,LTC和WKHL很容易与尿路结石混淆,泌尿外科医生和放射科医生应该了解它们的影像学表现。
