Article Abstract
A 60-year-old man with colonic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was referred for FDG PET/CT for initial staging. He was suspected of enterovesical fistula. After oral administration, large amounts of contrast agents accumulated in the bowel lumen and leaked into the bladder through a well-marked fistulous tract. Corresponding to the fistula, a linear pattern of FDG uptake extended from the bladder into the colonic lumen, and the measured SUV max inside the lesion was as high as that of the urinary bladder. Cystography confirmed the presence of the enterovesical fistula.

Colovesical Fistula in a Kidney Transplant Patient: A Fatal Outcome.
Cureus

Urology, Faculty of Medicine of São José do Rio Preto, São José do Rio Preto, BRA.
Colovesical fistula (CVF) is a rare but potentially serious condition characterized by abnormal communication between the colon and the bladder. This pathology can result from inflammatory diseases, malignancies, or previous surgical interventions, with a significant impact on the patient's quality of life. CVF is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, particularly in immunosuppressed individuals, such as renal transplant recipients, due to their increased susceptibility to infections and surgical complications.

Key Clinical Message: The poppy seed test is a valuable, cost-effective, and sensitive initial diagnostic investigation to identify the presence of colovesical fistula, particularly for clinicians in remote or rural areas with lack of access to specialist radiologic, endoscopic, surgical, or urological support. The poppy seed test therefore may act as a bridge toward the commencement of appropriate referral pathways for the management of colovesical fistula.
Abstract: The diagnosis of colovesical fistula is resource intensive, often requiring a combination of radiological investigation and endoscopy.

Department of Urology, Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, Institute of Geriatric Medicine, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China.
Article Synopsis
- - The study compares the safety and effectiveness of the KangDuo-Surgical Robot-01 (KD-SR-01) and the da Vinci (DV) systems for robot-assisted radical nephroureterectomy (RARNU) through a multicenter trial involving 58 patients from March 2022 to September 2023.
- - Results showed no significant differences in operative metrics and outcomes between the two systems, with both achieving 100% success rates and no serious complications during a four-week follow-up period.
- - The KD-SR-01 system is deemed safe and effective for RARNU, although the authors recommend further research with larger sample sizes and extended follow-up for more comprehensive results.
Outcomes of surgical treatment for enterovesical fistula in Crohn's disease.

Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan.
Enterovesical fistula (EVF) in Crohn's disease (CD) often does not improve with medical treatment and requires surgical treatment. The surgical treatment strategy for EVF in CD is definitive resection of the intestinal tract side, and performing a leak test using dye injection into the bladder after EVF dissection to determine the appropriate surgical procedure for the bladder side. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of surgical treatment for EVF in CD.
