Abstract:
The authors report a case of an uretero-acetabular fistula after a Girdlestone procedure. The reason of ablation was an infected hip prosthesis. The urinary fistula was treated with an uretero-ileoplasty and hip infection with a two stages procedure. There was no recurrence of infection at two years follow-up. Different causes of this urinary complication are discussed.
