title: [Percutaneous treatment of fistulas and stenoses after anastomosis of the uretero-digestive tract].
abstract: 14 ureteral stenoses and 5 fistulae following an uro-intestinal anastomosis (UIA) were managed by a transrenal percutaneous approach. The stenoses (12 uretero-ileal and 1 uretero-colic anastomoses) were dilated with an angioplasty balloon and stented for several weeks. After withdrawal of the stent, performed on 12 out of 14 patients, the dilatation was successful in 8/12 cases (66%), with a follow up of 3 to 36 months. All the fistulae were dried. In 2 cases, complete recovery was achieved after placement of a bilateral nephrostomy tube. In 2 other cases, the ureter was stented at the site of the fistula which dried without sequelae after withdrawal of the stent. In the last case (uretero-colic diversion) surgery was performed after the fistula dried for the cure of a complete stenosis associated with the fistulae. The use of percutaneous nephrostomy is highly recommended for the management of post-operative stenoses and fistulae before considering surgical correction.
