Colonic perforation complicating percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
A case of colonic perforation complicating percutaneous nephrolithotomy in a 64-year-old woman is reported. Nonoperative management was successful with the creation of a controlled colocutaneous fistula by pulling the nephrostomy tube back from the kidney to the colon and the use of an elemental diet and antibiotics. Internal urinary drainage was not necessary.
