We present the case of a late 60s male who presented to hospital 3 years postradical cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion with polyuria and acute kidney injury. CT of the kidneys, ureters and bladder (KUB) revealed mild hydronephrosis of a solitary left kidney and a 3-cm calculus in the ileal conduit. The patient subsequently underwent a laparotomy which revealed the cause of obstruction to be tethering of the small bowel anastomosis to the pubic bone. The conduit was excised with the calculus in situ and a new conduit was fashioned. The patient recovered from surgery without complication, and his kidney function improved.
