Abstract
Genitourinary complications have long been recognized as some of the most serious extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In 1936, just four years after Crohn, Ginzburg and Oppenheimer’s original description of regional enteritis, Ten Kate recorded the first documented case of an enterovesical fistula secondary to IBD (1). This was followed in 1943 by Hyams’ original report of ureteral obstruction resulting from chronic ileitis and in 1962 by Deren’s paper on nephrolithiasis as a complication of ul-cerative colitis and regional enteritis (2,3). Other authors throughout this century have continued to emphasize significant genitourinary complications associated with or resulting from surgery for IBD (4,5).
