    Abstract:
    The authors present a study based on 4 cases of fistulous communication between the terminal digestive tube and the genitourinary tract, which appeared after surgery and radiation therapy for carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The diagnosis criteria (symptoms, clinical and imagistic findings), the objectives of the surgical treatment (external digestive derivation, treatment of the fistula and reconstruction of the digestive tube), the steps of the operation and the early and late postoperative evolution are pointed out. The conclusions are shown at the end.
