Urethrogluteal fistula occurring after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.
We report on a patient who developed a urethrogluteal fistula 11 years following cystectomy performed for carcinoma of the bladder. The diagnosis was established by retrograde urethrography and fistulography. To the best of our knowledge, no previous case has been reported in the literature.
