Urosymphyseal Fistulas Resulting From Endoscopic Treatment of Radiation-induced Posterior Urethral Strictures

UF can occur as a complication of endoscopic treatment of posterior urethral stricture in patients with a history of radiation therapy for prostate cancer. This study demonstrates that UF and PO may develop even with minimally traumatic procedures and sterile urine. All patients treated for posterior stricture must be considered at risk of development of fistulas and osteomyelitis.
