Enteral stent for the treatment of a urinary fistula associated with a biological mesh following a Bricker-type procedure

Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2017 Apr;109(4):286-287.

Abstract

Postoperative fistula results in increased morbidity and a longer hospital stay. While surgery is the most common treatment, the endoscopic approach is an increasingly used alternative. A 57-year-old woman underwent surgery for colonic adenocarcinoma, which relapsed as peritoneal carcinomatosis and was managed with chemotherapy and surgery, a biological Permacol™ mesh was used for abdominal wall closure.
