Helmy Fahada¹, Fransiska Kusumawidagdo²

Abstract

The most frequent kidney cancer in children is Wilms tumor, often known as nephroblastoma. The prevalence is low and only representing for approximately 7% of all childhood cancers. The most standard treatment for this tumor is surgery. Complications from surgical care occurred in patients with Wilms tumor who had a radical nephrectomy. Intestinal blockage, hemorrhage, infection, and vascular injury are the most common surgical consequences. The purpose of this case report is to describe the incidence of perforation of hollow organs after radical nephrectomy in the case of Wilms tumor in a child aged 2 years and 6 months after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, who later developed generalized peritonitis due to ileal anastomoses leakage.
