The Complex Challenge of Urosymphyseal Fistula and Pubic Osteomyelitis in Prostate Cancer Survivors.

Background And Objective: Urosymphyseal fistula (UF) and pubic osteomyelitis (PO) are rare and often poorly recognized long-term complications of treatment for localized prostate cancer. Our aim was to describe UF/PO in prostate cancer survivors.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 26 patients treated for UF/PO after localized prostate cancer treatment at University Hospitals Leuven (1996-2021).
