Abstract
Postoperative ureterocutaneous fistula is a very rare complication. We report a case in which a patient developed urine leakage through the surgical wound of an appendectomy. A uroscanner revealed the pyeloureterocutaneous pathway of drainage from the right kidney. A right ureteroplasty was performed, using a double J ureteral stent. Post-operative management was uneventful, with cessation of urine leakage and resumption of normal route urine output. The follow-up uroscanner performed after removal of the ureteral stent was normal
