“…Nephrocolic fistulas, abnormal fistulous connections between the kidney and colon, are rare. There have been a few case reports of nephrocolic fistulae following renal interventions such as lithotripsy [74][75][76], radiofrequency ablation [77], cryoablation [78][79][80][81][82] and stereotactic a b ablative body radiotherapy [83]. Patients presented with flank pain, recurrent urinary tract infections, pneumaturia, faecuria or haematochezia a few weeks to a few months following ablative therapy or radiotherapy.…”

A number of potential vascular and non-vascular complications can arise from surgical, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, radiotherapy and radiological renal interventions, including percutaneous image-guided biopsy and drainage. Computed tomography scan is usually one of the first and most important diagnostic imaging examinations requested when a potential complication is suspected. There are a wide range of common and uncommon potential complications from renal interventions. An understanding of underlying risk factors is important to reduce potential complications from renal intervention. Radiologists play a crucial role in recognising and diagnosing post-renal intervention complications on computed tomography scans, which could significantly improve the patient’s prognosis.
