Uretero-duodenal fistula: Risk factors and management

Abstract

In this case report we explore the clinical journey of a 66-year-old female patient that developed a uretero-duodenal fistula. This urological complication is extremely rare and to our knowledge, this is only the third female described in the literature with this finding. We discuss the risk factors associated with uretero-duodenal fistula and its management in the acute setting.
