Abstract

The development of a reno-jejunal fistula following a Roux-en-Y cystojejunostomy for an incorrectly diagnosed pancreatic pseudocyst is described. Up to now, this is the second case of iatrogenic reno-jejunal fistula reported in literature.

Reno-jejunal fistulas are exceedingly rare and are usually consequences of urologic pathologies of infectious origin. Reno-jejunal fistulas of iatrogenic origin are even rarer, only one case being referred in literature [1]. Herein the second case is reported.
