“…However, potential complications following balloon dilatation of the narrow ureter still include ureteral perforation by the balloon or guide wire, retroperitoneal urinoma or abscess formation, and the formation of recurrent or new strictures. There are some previous reports regarding ureteroenteric fistula; 1,2 however, to our knowledge, this is the first reported case of ureteroenteric fistula following retrograde balloon dilatation of ureteral stricture.…”

Advances in endourology have made transluminal balloon dilatation a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of ureteral strictures. Bilateral ureteral stricture was treated with retrograde balloon dilatation and ureteral stenting in a 59-year-old-woman. The patient had previously undergone abdominoperineal resection and adjuvant radiotherapy due to rectosigmoid adenocarcinoma. Subsequently, unilateral ureteroenteric fistula was detected on follow-up retrograde ureteropyelography. To our knowledge, this is the first case of ureteroenteric fistula after balloon dilatation for ureteral stricture in a patient with predisposing factors for compromised vascularity of the ureter.
