URINARY FISTULA

Urinary fistula (ureterocutaneous fistula) is one of the complications of ureterolithotomy. This 35 years old male developed urinary leakage from the drain site after undergoing ureterolithotomy. This IVU film showed spillage of contrast from the ureter into the surrounding tissues. No contrast was seen entering the distal ureter. An attempt was made to pass a double J stent through a ureterorenoscope (URS), but a blind end of ureter was encountered. Subsequently, exploration was contemplated and resection of ureter with end to end anastomosis over a double J stent was performed. The patient made a smooth recovery.
