This article presents the case of a 77-year old male who was found to have a prostate-symphyseal fistula with associated pubic symphysis osteomyelitis. He had a history of previous radiation for prostate cancer and two transurethral resections of the prostate. He was managed conservatively with long-term antibiotics and urinary diversion as he was a suboptimal surgical candidate. To our knowledge, this case report is the first reported successful conservative management of a prostate-symphyseal fistula.
本文介绍了一名77岁男性的病例,该患者被发现患有前列腺-耻骨联合瘘并伴有耻骨联合骨髓炎。他既往有前列腺癌放疗史及两次经尿道前列腺切除术史。由于他并非理想的手术候选人,因此对其采取了长期抗生素及尿流改道的保守治疗。据我们所知,本病例报告是首例成功保守治疗前列腺-耻骨联合瘘的报道。
