METHODS: The video highlights a case of a 21-year-old female with a history of neurogenic bladder secondary to tethered cord. The patient had previously undergone augmentation ileocystoplasty at the age of 10, followed by open cystolithotomy at the age of 17 for the removal of bladder stones. After the open cystolithotomy, she started to lose weight, had persistent bladder discomfort, and noted a change in the quality of her urine. Further evaluation with a cystogram demonstrated a fistula between the bladder augment and the small bowel. RESULTS: The recurrent stones were managed using a percutaneous approach. The pediatric urology and pediatric surgery team elected to address the fistula utilizing a laparoscopic approach. There were two fistulas that were identified. They were divided and covered with an omental flap. Post-surgery, the patient's urine has remained clear, and she was able to return to her prior baseline weight. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, this video reports an unusual ileal-ileocystoplasty fistula resulting from prior open cystolithotomy. There is only one other report of ileal-ileocystoplasty fistula published in the literature, and its etiology was unclear. Our video demonstrates the feasibility of taking a minimally invasive approach in treating bladder augment stones and ileal-ileocystoplasty fistulae.
