Gastro-jejunocolic fistula

  • Published:
Irish Journal of Medical Science (1926-1967)

Summary

A review of gastro-jejunocolic fistulae is presented. The points are made that the incidence of the condition is on the decline, that it occurs most frequently after posterior gastro-enterostomy and usually in males. The causes of the signs and symptoms are discussed. The possibility of stomal ulcer and gastro-jejunocolic fistula even in the absence of symptoms is noted. Another case of gastro-jejunocolic fistula in a female is added to the literature. One-stage resection, if at all possible, is felt to be the treatment of choice. Three cases are presented, which illustrate three degrees in severity of the condition and three different modes of surgical treatment.
