Ureterocolic fistula is a rare phenomenon and cases secondary to diverticulitis are even rarer. We present a case of ureterocolic fistula secondary to diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon following laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy due to endometriomas. To our knowledge, this is the first case that occurred in a patient with gynecologic surgery.

A ureterocolic fistula in a renal transplant patient is a rare complication. Even rarer is a ureterocolic fistula involving a native kidney in a patient with a functional, ipsilateral transplanted kidney, with no prior cases published in the English literature. In the current case report, we describe a patient with a previously successful right renal transplant, who presented three years later with a ureterocolic fistula involving the right native kidney and the sigmoid colon.

Injuries are sometimes identified intraoperatively, but the diagnosis of ureteral injury is often delayed. Ureterocolic fistula is a relatively rare condition and mostly due to obstructing calculi, diverticular disease of the colon, radiotherapy, cancer, or trauma.

Ureterocolic fistula is a rare condition that most commonly occurs in the setting of diverticular disease. The development of a ureterocolic fistula following kidney transplantation is even rarer, with no prior cases in the literature to our knowledge. We describe the case of a patient with three prior failed kidney transplants who developed a fistula between the sigmoid colon and nonfunctioning renal transplant ureter in the setting of diverticulitis.

Description We describe a case of a patient with a two-year history of prostate cancer who underwent placement of nephroureteral stents. He subsequently presented to the hospital with complications from prolonged retention of the stents, which ultimately lead to a secondary diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the rectum. A colonoscopy performed approximately two weeks after a bilateral nephroureteral tube exchange demonstrated what was believed to be locoregional metastatic disease and a fistulous connection with the distal nephroureteral stents.
