Gastro Intestinal Fistula

Abstract

Gastrointestinal fistula is a common problem faced by General and Gastrointestinal surgeons. Many times it is a disaster after abdominal operation. Though conservative management heals many fistulae, it is sometimes necessary to do surgical intervention. An attempt has been made in this article to discuss when to intervene surgically and different types of surgical procedures required in selective cases of gastrointestinal fistulae.
