The management of appendicitis with appendicectomy is very common in surgical practice. A recognised complication of appendicitis and appendicectomy is the formation of an enterocutaneous fistula. We present the case of a seventy-five-year-old woman who presented with an appendicocutaneous fistula on the background of an open appendicectomy performed sixty years prior to presentation.

Rectovaginal fistula following sexual intercourse is rarely reported. It is a social stigma; and without adequate treatment and social support, the patient may end-up in isolation. A thorough knowledge of the problem and management is essential for successful outcome. We report a case of low rectovaginal fistula in a newly married female managed trans-vaginally with prior defunctioning colostomy.

Spontaneous cholecystocutaneous fistula is an exceptionally unusual complication of chronic calculous cholecystitis now. The remarkable drop in incidence is probably associated with the introduction of antimicrobial therapy and early surgical management of biliary tract disease. We report a case of spontaneous cholecystocutaneous fistula in a patient who presented with an abscess in the right u...

An increase in cardiac radiofrequency catheter ablation for treating refractory atrial fibrillation has resulted in an increased prevalence of complications. Among numerous complications of radiofrequency catheter ablation, atrio-esophageal fistula, although rare, is known to have fatal results. We report a case of successful management of an atrio-esophageal fistula as a complication of cardia...

Only 12 cases of coronary artery to left atrium fistula have been reported, with successful correction in at least seven. We describe a unique case of repair of a left main coronary artery to left atrium fistula using revascularisation with general discussion of the embryology, pathophysiology, complications, and diagnosis of these fistulae, indications for operation, and guidelines for surgica...

BACKGROUND Pancreatic fistula is still one of the most serious and potential complications after D2-D3 distal and total gastrectomy (4% to 6%). Despite their importance, pancreatic fistulas still have not been uniformly defined. Amylase concentration of the drainage fluid after surgery for gastric cancer can be considered as a predictive factor of the presence of pancreatic fistula. METHODS F...

The successful management of a rectovesical fistula after radical prostatectomy is difficult. Minimally invasive treatment by over-the-scope clip (OTSC) is a novel method. The authors present results with the use of OTSC. This method was used in 2 patients. The first patient had a rectovesical fistula detected on the fifth day after a prostatectomy. The second patient experienced rectal perfora...
