Prolonged stent dwell time is associated with a greater degree of these complications. We present the case of a...

Although there are reports of various complications of long-term indwelling ureteral stents, a renocolic fistula secondary to a perinephric abscess resulting from an indwelling ureteral stent has not been reported. Here, we present a fatal case of a renoco...
