Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Varicose veins, or varicosities, develop when the valves in the veins, which control blood flow, weaken or damage. It causes blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management options for varicose veins is crucial for effective treatment and relief.Clinical manifestationsClinical manifestations of varicose veins include a heavy, achy feeling or pain after prolonged standing or sitting. This discomfort can often be relieved by...

The diagnosis of renal calculi involves several imaging techniques, including non-contrast CT scans and ultrasound. These methods help visualize kidney stones, assess their size and location, and detect possible obstructions. Additionally, Measuring urine pH is useful for diagnosing specific stone types, such as struvite (alkaline pH) and uric acid stones (acidic pH). Cystine stones are primarily linked to cystinuria, a genetic condition. A urinalysis helps detect blood in the urine (hematuria)...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Urology

Background:

  • Colo-vesical (CV) fistulae are the most common type of fistula linked to diverticular disease.
  • Surgical intervention is typically considered essential for healing CV fistulae.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a unique case of a CV fistula that healed with conservative management alone.
  • To challenge the conventional surgical approach for CV fistulae.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 62-year-old male patient.
  • Diagnosis of CV fistula post-reversal of Hartmann's procedure.
  • Treatment with conservative management.

Main Results:

  • The CV fistula demonstrated clinical and radiological evidence of spontaneous healing.
  • Successful resolution of the fistula without surgical intervention.

Conclusions:

  • Conservative management should be considered as a viable option for CV fistulae.
  • This case represents the first documented instance of spontaneous CV fistula healing without surgery.
