| Summary: | Conclusion: The treatment options for this ureteric small bowel fistula were limited. A lifelong nephrostomy was deemed unsuitable due to incompatibility with the patient’s profession, and surgical intervention was associated with significant complexity due to the patient’s history of malignancy and radiotherapy-related tissue changes. Therefore, a conservative strategy involving serial ureteric stent exchanges was pursued. Early recognition and individualised treatment of ureteric-enteric fistulas are essential, as timely intervention can significantly enhance prognosis and quality of life. |
