Endoscopic management of a chronic ureterocutaneous fistula using cyanoacrylic glue
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ureterocutaneous fistula is a rare complication of renal surgery. Cyanoacrylate glue is a tissue adhesive, used primarily for the endoscopic control of bleeding from gastric varices. A female aged 33 presented to our facility with a ureterocutaneous fistula after surgery. We used a retrograde endoscopic approach for the instillation of 2 ml of sealant into the ureteral lumen to seal the ureter and fistulous tract. The fistulous opening healed spontaneously a week after the procedure, and the patient remained dry and symptom free for 5 months following the procedure. Endoscopic delivery of cyanoacrylate sealant was a feasible and effective way in treating a ureterocutaneous fistula in our patient.
