Ureterocutaneous Fistula in the Setting of Recurrent Gluteal Abscesses: A Case Report

Ureteral fistulas are a rare occurrence that can arise from iatrogenic trauma, radiation, malignancy, and inflammation. Treatment options of urinary tract fistulas are handled on a case-by-case basis, and can necessitate a surgical approach. The authors present the case of an 85-year-old female patient with a ureterocutaneous fistula, where conservative management with percutaneous nephrostomy is a viable alternative to surgical intervention.
