Management of prostatic fistulas.

C A Olsson, M K Willscher, R J Krane

    Urological Survey
    |October 11, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Prostatic fistulas, abnormal connections involving the prostate, can arise from surgery or injury. While some cases resolve with conservative care, surgical repair is often necessary and depends on fistula characteristics and surgeon expertise.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Prostatic fistulas are rare complications following prostate surgery, pelvic trauma, or abscess formation.
    • These fistulas can involve abnormal communication between the prostate and the rectum or perineal skin.

    Observation:

    • Approximately one-third of prostatic fistulas may spontaneously resolve with appropriate urinary diversion and prevention of fecal contamination.
    • The variety of surgical techniques reported highlights the absence of a universally applicable "ideal" repair method.

    Findings:

    • Surgical intervention for prostatic fistulas is often required.
    • The choice of operative management strategy is dictated by fistula size, anatomical location, chronicity, and the surgeon's familiarity with different surgical approaches.

    Implications:

    • Tailored surgical approaches are essential for successful prostatic fistula repair.
    • Further research into standardized and effective surgical techniques for complex prostatic fistulas is warranted.
