CHOLOCYSTODUODENAL FISTULA
Abstract
We report a case of a patient with a cholocystoduodenal fistula which was revealed during the operation. The patient was presented to us with the diagnosis of chololithiasis with associated symptomatology. A cholocystoduodenal fistula and a distended gall-bladder duct of stones were found. We discuss the aetiology, classification, the clinical picture and treatment of the cholopeptic fistulas.References
