  • Title: Colonic necrosis or fistula following pancreatitis or gastric surgery.
    Author: Wille-Jørgensen P, Frederiksen HJ.
    Journal: Eur J Surg; 1991 Feb; 157(2):137-9. PubMed ID: 1676308.
    Abstract:
    Eight cases of extensive colonic necrosis or colonic fistula secondary to gastric surgery or surgical drainage of necrotic pancreatitis were seen over a 2-year period. Four of the patients died, and all the survivors had fistula only. Diagnosis of such lesions is often difficult, and fistulography is recommended when a pancreatic abscess is drained. Resection of the gut is not mandatory in cases of fistula.
