title: Antegrade periurethral administration of Durasphere for management of a vesicoperineal fistula.
abstract: A patient who had developed a persistent fistula between the urethra and bladder neck after its surgical closure in the construction of a continent urinary pouch and Mitrofanoff nipple was successfully treated by antegrade periurethral injection of a newly approved injectable bulking agent for stress urinary incontinence (Durasphere) to occlude the bladder neck. We believe this to be the first reported use of Durasphere for such treatment.
