Persistent urinary leak after partial nephrectomy in a child: Definitive therapy with percutaneous glue
Urinary fistulas are usually managed with diversion, and persistent fistulas may require nephrectomy. For refractory cases in adults, rare reports have described percutaneous glues as an alternative to nephrectomy.

Sumario: | Urinary fistulas are usually managed with diversion, and persistent fistulas may require nephrectomy. For refractory cases in adults, rare reports have described percutaneous glues as an alternative to nephrectomy. We present the case of a child with persistent urinary leak after partial nephrectomy for recurrent microabscesses. In order to spare the child nephrectomy, the fistula was treated percutaneously with the application of cyanoacrylate glue and a vascular occlusion plug. This is the first report of percutaneous glue treatment with an adjunct vascular occlusion device for a urinary leak, and the first report of percutaneous management of a pediatric urinary fistula. |
