Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Advances in endourology have made transluminal balloon dilatation a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of ureteral strictures. Bilateral ureteral stricture was treated with retrograde balloon dilatation and ureteral stenting in a 59-year-old-woman. The patient had previously undergone abdominoperineal resection and adjuvant radiotherapy due to rectosigmoid adenocarcinoma. Subsequently, unilateral ureteroenteric fistula was detected on follow-up retrograde ureteropyelography. To our knowledge, this is the first case of ureteroenteric fistula after balloon dilatation for ureteral stricture in a patient with predisposing factors for compromised vascularity of the ureter.
