[Non-neoplastic gastro-jejuno-colic fistula. Presentation of 3 cases]

Abstract:
3 cases of non-neoplastic gastrojejunocolic fistula are reported. These were treated by mass resection of the fistulous route with the stomach, small intestine and colon segments involved, followed by immediate restoral of intestinal continuity. After examining the aetiopathogenetic aspects of this disease and reporting the various therapeutic proposals, careful preoperative study is considered vital to clarify the cause of the fistula (hypervagotomy, gastrinoma, hyperparathyroidism). On this basis, surgery is then adapted to avert the danger of recurrence.
