Background: To evaluate the efficacy of double percutaneous nephrostomy (
PCN) combined with ureter occlusion
stent for treating
cervical cancer complicated with
vesicovaginal fistula (VVF). Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for 12 patients with
cervical cancer complicated with VVF. Regardless of surgical resection,
radiotherapy alone or combined
chemoradiotherapy were carried out in all patients. After VVF was diagnosed by gynecological examination, imaging, and cystoscopy, concurrent double
PCN and ureter occlusion
stent implantation were performed for all patients. Results: All patients successfully received ureter occlusion
stent implantation after
nephrostomy. The success rate of
nephrostomy and
stent placement was 100% (12/12). After intervention,
urinary fistula immediately disappeared in all patients. One week post-surgery, bilateral
hydronephrosis disappeared in 4 patients, and their
renal insufficiency and renal function returned to normal. One month after operation, 6 patients with genital
eczema or
ulcer and 5 patients with
urinary tract infection were cured. During follow-up, there were no recurrence in
urinary fistula, renal dysfunction, and other complications. Conclusion: Double
PCN combined with ureter occlusion
stent could effectively treat
cervical cancer complicated with VVF
hydronephrosis,
urinary tract infection, and
renal insufficiency and contribute to alleviate all kinds of clinical discomfort.
