Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Urology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Renocolic fistulas are rare, often associated with complex urinary tract issues.
  • This case involves a 78-year-old female presenting with pneumaturia, anemia, and positive fecal occult blood.

Observation:

  • Imaging revealed a left renocolic fistula, bilateral renal stones, and a non-functioning left kidney.
  • Urine cultures identified Proteus vulgaris and Klebsiella oxytoca.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention included right pyelolithotomy, followed by left nephrectomy and partial colectomy.
  • The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative recovery.

Implications:

  • Surgical management of renocolic fistulas can be successful even in elderly patients with significant renal dysfunction.
