title: Perineal urethrocutaneous fistula complicating ischiectomy.
abstract: The role of ischiectomy for the repair and/or prevention of ischial ulcers is controversial. We report a rare complication of a perineal urethrocutaneous fistula following ischiectomy and flap closure to repair an ischial ulcer. This complication and its management are reviewed.
