title: Diagnosis and management of ureteral fistulas by percutaneous nephrostomy and antegrade stent catheter.
abstract: Percutaneous nephrostomy coupled with an antegrade stent catheter was evaluated in 15 patients with uretero-enteric, uretero-cutaneous, uretero-vaginal, or uretero-retroperitoneal fistulas (urinomas). This technique offers an excellent conservative alternative to surgical management or retrograde catheterization.
