Arterio-urinary fistulae are a rare but potentially lethal complication that may arise after pelvic surgery, such as radical cystectomy. Historically, open surgery was the gold standard treatment, but...
We report our centre experience in endovascular treatment of cystectomy-related arterial fistulae and review the reported literature on the topic. During the postoperative period of radical cystoprost...
Immediate results were satisfactory in all cases; however, one patient died secondary to fistula-related causes 15 days post-treatment. No stent thrombosis or rebleeding have been registered during fo...
Urinary fistula is expected to become more frequent in urological practice as a result of expanding indication of partial nephrectomy given it's oncological results equivalent to those of radical neph...
Review and compare different techniques of contemporary active management for urinary fistula after partial nephrectomy....
A systematic literature search on the MEDLINE database was conducted in March 2020, combining the terms: "urine leak", "urine leakage", "urinary leak" and "urinary fistula", with: "partial nephrectomy...
1) Leak resolution rate 2) Time course of leak resolution and 3) Number of interventions needed for resolution....
Multiple studies were found. There were no randomized controlled trials. Urinary fistula can be solved in many ways with active treatment, with a high success rate (97.5%), an average of 1.4 intervent...
There is a high risk of bias due to the study's methodology. There is a broad range of effective alternatives and various approaches to solve urinary fistula in an appropriate timing....
Ileoanal pouch is a demanding procedure with many potential technical complications including bladder or ureteral injury, while inflammation or stricture of the anastomosis or anal transition zone may...
Our prospectively maintained pouch registry was queried using diagnostic codes and natural language processing free-text searches to identify ileoanal pouch patients diagnosed with any pouch-urinary t...
Over 25 years, urinary fistulae were observed 27 pouch patients; of these, 16 of the index pouches were performed at our institution [rate 0.3% (16/5236)]. Overall median age was 42 (27-62) years, and...
Pouch-urinary tract fistulae are a rare, morbid, and difficult to treat complication of ileoanal pouch that requires a multidisciplinary, often staged, surgical approach. In the long term, pouches wit...
Entero-urinary fistulas (EUF) are a rare complication of Crohn's disease (CD), observed in 1.6 to 7.7%. The management of EUF complicating CD is challenging. We aimed to report the outcome and surgica...
A retrospective chart review was performed in all CD patients with EUF who underwent surgery in our center between January 2012 and December 2021. Patient demographics, preoperative optimization, surg...
A total of 74 eligible patients were identified. The median interval between CD diagnosis and EUF diagnosis was 2 (0.08-6.29) years. Patients with EUF presented with pneumaturia (75.68%), urinary trac...
Surgical management of EUF complicating CD is effective and safe, with a low rate of postoperative complication and EUF recurrence. Preoperative optimization, which is associated with the resolution o...
Genito-urinary fistulas may occur as complications of obstetric surgery. Location and circumstances can indicate iatrogenic origin as opposed to pressure necrosis following prolonged, obstructed labor...
This retrospective review focuses on 787 women with iatrogenic genito-urinary fistulas among 2942 women who developed fistulas after cesarean birth between 1994 and 2017. They are a subset of 5469 wom...
Over one-quarter of women with fistula following cesarean birth (26.8%, 787/2942) had an injury caused by surgery rather than pressure necrosis due to prolonged, obstructed labor. Controlling for age,...
Despite the strong association between obstetric fistula and prolonged, obstructed labor, more than a quarter of women with fistula after cesarean birth had injuries due to surgical complications rath...
Rectourethral fistula (RUF) and puboprostatic fistula (PPF) are potentially devastating complications that can develop after various pelvic insults, most notable treatment of prostate cancer. Both ent...
To report our experience and outcomes in minimally invasive management of rectourethral fistula (RUF)....
From 2004 to 2021, 15 patients who underwent minimally invasive RUF repair by a single surgeon at 2 international institutions were retrospectively reviewed. Baseline demographic characteristics, peri...
Fifteen male patients with a median age of 71 (64-79.2) years were treated. Four cases (26.6%) occurred postsurgery, 8 cases (53.3%) occurred after energy treatments, and 3 cases (20%) after surgery c...
Minimally invasive surgery could represent an efficient way to manage RUF in selected patients. More studies and treatment standardization are needed to assess the role of minimally invasive surgery i...
Ureteroarterial fistula (UAF) is lethal condition. However, no consensus has been reached regarding the diagnosis and treatment of UAF owing to its rarity. The aim of our report was to present an actu...
The case study was of a 52-year-old woman who had experienced a massive hemorrhage during urinary stent replacement. For the systematic review of studies of UAF, those written in English and reported ...
We included 121 studies with 235 patients (mean age, 66.0 years; 139 women [59.1%]) in our review. UAF had occurred most frequently in the common iliac artery (n = 112; 47.7%). Almost all patients (n ...
Computed tomography can be recommended as the first examination for patients with risk factors for UAF because of its usefulness. Subsequently, angiography should be considered because UAF can be trea...
Fistula formation between the kidney, colon and the skin is an extremely rare complication arising from renal infections secondary to renal stone formation. During the 1980s, reports of nephrocolic fi...
To describe a single-center experience with the management of ileal pouch-urethral fistulas (IPUF) following restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA)....
We retrospectively identified patients with documented IPUF managed at our institution from a urethral fistula cohort and analyzed their cases....
Thirteen patients who underwent surgeries for IPUF management from 2005-2022 were identified. Median age at IPAA was 29 years (range 11-53). Indications for IPAA included familial adenomatous polyposi...
IPUFs are a rare complication after IPAA. In this cohort, all patients had their urinary tract preserved, but most ultimately had permanent fecal diversion. These results can help guide management of ...
