    Summary

    Pyeloduodenal fistulas, often linked to chronic kidney inflammation, most frequently affect the right kidney. Retrograde pyelography is the key diagnostic tool, with nephrectomy and duodenal closure being the recommended treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Pyeloduodenal fistula is a rare but serious complication.
    • Understanding its pathogenesis, presentation, diagnosis, and management is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A review of 28 cases indicates a predilection for the right kidney.
    • Chronic renal inflammatory disease is the primary etiological factor identified.

    Findings:

    • Retrograde pyelography demonstrates superior efficacy in diagnosing pyeloduodenal fistulas.
    • Nephrectomy combined with primary duodenal closure emerges as the optimal management strategy.

    Implications:

    • This review provides essential insights for clinicians managing pyeloduodenal fistulas.
    • Standardizing diagnostic and therapeutic approaches can improve patient prognosis.
