We present a case of a kidney stone that developed around a surgical staple which refluxed up to the kidney following a Bricker urinary diversion and bilateral ureteroileal anastomosis. A GIA stapler had been utilized to construct the ileal conduit. The stone was retrieved by means of flexible ureterorenoscopy through the ileal conduit. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such a complication following construction of an ileal conduit with a stapling device.
