Laparoscopic Management of Cholecystoduodenal and Cholecystocolic Fistula: A Clinical Case Report.
Curēus 2023 June
Biliary fistula is a rare (less than 8%) cholecystectomy complication, internal fistulae being the most common of them (mainly colonic and duodenal). However, the presence of two fistulas at the same time is extremely rare, with a small number of cases reported in the literature to date. Symptoms tend to be non-specific, leading to a difficult preoperative diagnosis. The standard treatment for bilioenteric fistulas is open cholecystectomy and subsequent closure of the fistula. Nonetheless, modern techniques including laparoscopic and endoscopic approaches have been reported lately for their treatment with favorable results. We present a case of concomitant cholecystoduodenal and cholecystocolic fistula successfully treated with subtotal cholecystectomy and primary closure of the fistulous tracts by laparoscopic approach in a female Hispanic patient.
