How can a nephrocutaneous fistula be repaired?

I HAD A PARTIAL NEPHRECTOMY.
NOW I HAVE A FISTULA WITH DRAINGE OF URINE THROUGH MY BACK.
IS HAS FORMED A FUSTULA THAT WILL NOT HEAL.
A NEPHROSTOMY TUBE WAS PLACED TO NO AVAIL.
ANY IDEAS ABOUT WHAT CAN BE DONE BESIDE A NEPHHRECTOMY?

Boy are you are asking the WRONG crowd!

I am NOT a urologist, but I remember reading an article on this subject during a rotation on that service. The only thing I can recall is that it was a persistent fistula and that fibrin glue was used in an attempt to close the tract. Don't recall if it worked, don't recall if it further excascerbated the problem. This is best left to your surgical team, as you may not be a candidate for certain therapies. Good luck to you.
