SUMMARY
One-stage surgical treatment of colo-vesical fistulas.
Objectives : To evaluate the results of one-stage surgical treat -
ment of colo-vesical fistulas.
Material and Methods : 24 patients (16 males and 8 females)
were treated for colo-vesical fistula by this technique. Sigmoid
d i v e rticulosis re p resented the commonest aetiology. In our
study, cystoscopy was the most useful modality for the diagnosis
of fistula.
Results : No deaths and no recurrent fistulas were observed.
However, one case of peritonitis secondary to dehiscence of the
colo-colonic anastomosis in a patient suffering from Crohn’s
disease and two wall abscesses in diabetic patients were obser -
ved.
Conclusion : The morbidity and mortality rates after one-stage
treatment of colo-vesical fistulas were low.This method not only
improves the patient’s quality of life, but is also less expensive,
by avoiding a second hospitalisation and can be proposed as
first-line treatment.
Key-words : Colo-vesical fistula, colonic diverticulosis, surgi -
cal treatment.
