Postoperative note as follows.

Ms. [Name] presented [Date] for evaluation of a left posterior bladder wall lesion consistent with either a tumor versus fistula tract. She had previously undergone CT IVP which demonstrated a diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon with air within the bladder. There was also apparent communication between the sigmoid colon and the bladder, although the CAT scan was non-contrast. This was suspicious for evidence of a colovesicular fistula. Previously the patient has denied history of pneumaturia, but had had recurrent urinary tract infections, as well as microhematuria.

    We completed this maneuver, and then performed a cholangiogram, and much to our surprise, the left intrahepatic duct looked clear but was massively dilated. I think in retrospect, it was filled not only with stones but with mucus, and other material. We then directed our attention to the right intrahepatic ducts, and entered it with the SPYGLASS technology and performed the lithotripsy of stones there as well.
