IntroductionCholecystocolic fistula is a rare complication of gallbladder disease. Its
clinical presentation is variable and nonspecific, and the diagnosis is made,
mostly, incidentally during intraoperative maneuver. Cholecystectomy with closure
of the fistula is considered the treatment of choice for the condition, with an
increasingly reproducible tendency to the use of laparoscopy.AimTo describe the laparoscopic approach for cholecystocolic fistula and ratify its
feasibility even with the unavailability of more specific instruments.TechniqueAfter dissection of the communication and section of the gallbladder fundus, the
fistula is externalized by an appropriate trocar and sutured manually. Colonic
segment is reintroduced into the cavity and cholecystectomy is performed avoiding
the conversion procedure to open surgery.ConclusionLaparoscopy for resolution of cholecystocolic fistula isn't only feasible, but
also offers a shorter stay at hospital and a milder postoperative period when
compared to laparotomy.
