Ureteral stent--help or hindrance? In healing of post traumatic nephrocutaneous fistula

D Doddamani et al. Int Urol Nephrol. 2001.

Abstract

Nephrocutaneous fistulas are rare complications of blunt or penetrating renal trauma. The majority are managed conservatively, some may require percutaneous drainage or ureteral stenting and some require operative intervention. Diversion of the urine by a ureteral stent usually aids in the healing of the fistula. We present an unusual case of nephrocutaneous fistula following blunt renal trauma which persisted as long as a stent was in place but healed immediately after the stent was removed.
