  • Title: [Cholecysto-colic fistula: laparoscopic treatment].
    Author: Pianalto S, Rossi M, Battaglia G, Pizzato D, Ancona E.

    Abstract:
    Cholecystocolic fistula is an unusual complication of biliary tract disease and it may defeat laparoscopic treatment. We recently was a patient who, while undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, was found to have a fistula between the gallbladder and the transverse colon. The fistula was transected with a 3 cm endoscopic linear stapling device and uneventful laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. This report shows that, with increasing experience, no absolute contraindications exist to starting laparoscopic cholecystectomy by introducing the laparoscope.
