  • Title: Colopleural fistula with atypical presentation as a complication of diaphragmatic hernia repair.
    Author: Komatsu T, Henteleff H.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2010 Aug; 90(2):662-3. PubMed ID: 20667379.
    Abstract:
    We report a 40-year-old woman with a surgical history of right hepatectomy. She underwent diaphragmatic hernia repair, and a colopleural fistula developed as a complication. The fistula was treated conservatively with drainage and antibiotic treatment. There are two points in our case to note: the first is that the patient showed no physical symptoms, and the second is that conservative treatment was successful. Colopleural fistula with specific points in our patient is reviewed.
