Rare Case Of Gastric Outlet Obstruction With Cholecystoduodenal Fistula

MOHAMMED MINNATHULLAH SA SALEEMALLMA

Abstract


Cholecystoduodenal fistula, usually a late   complication of calculous disease of the gallbladder,  constitutes approximately 75 per cent of all internal biliary fistulas. The development of a fistula and the associated  complications increase the risk of surgical management of benign cholecystic disease. We report a case of chronic  calculous cholecystitis that had no preoperative diagnosis of cholecystoduodenal fistula but was found during Truncal Vagotomy and Gastro Jejunostomy and cholecystectomy, which was managed successfully.
