title: Successful closure of neovesicocutaneous fistula with fibrin glue.
abstract: We report a case of neovesicocutaneous fistula following radical cystectomy with urinary diversion via an ileal neobladder. The fistula was closed with fibrin glue. The present case suggests that occlusion therapy with fibrin glue is useful as a treatment option to facilitate the closure of a fistulous tract in the case of prolonged urine leakage from the ileal neobladder.
