Abstract

A gastro-jejuno-colic fistula detected by upper gastric contrast-radiography was the cause of severe diarrhea, miserere and weight loss. It had developed after gastro-jejunal anastomosis. Surgical correlation was achieved by a single intervention, possible because of preoperative care and modern suture technology.
