Br J Radiol. 2009 Dec;82(984):e246-8. doi: 10.1259/bjr/93776392.

Abstract

Urinary fistula is an acknowledged complication of partial nephrectomy. We describe a case of a urinary fistula that failed to respond to conventional treatment and the subsequent use of percutaneous Hystoacryl glue to achieve its resolution.
