Abstract

Uretero-duodenal fistula is an uncommon complication in urology. The cause of fistula have been reported as ureteral calculi, iatrogenic injury, trauma and malignancy. The gold standard treatment of uretero-duodenal fistula remains controversial. The most common management is nephrectomy and primary closure of fistula. We report a case of 67-yearold man with uretero-duodenal fistula after laparoscopic correction of ureteropelvic junction obstruction. In the era of minimal invasive management, we decided to use endoscopic and conservative treatment. The definitive treatment will be reconsidered if conservative treatment fails. We will discuss the steps of management and follow-up for this patient.
