Abstract. Examples of diverticulitis of the colon associated with fistulae to the left hip, inferior mesenteric vein, and portal vein resulting in the demonstration of intrahepatic abscesses, the vermiform appendix, and the skin are presented with a review of the literature. A case of a fistula to the epidural space is included.
The use of steerable catheter for replacement of a U-tube following its accidental removal in a patient with incurable cholangiocarcinoma is described. The simplicity of the technique, and the advantages for prevention of further surgery in these patients are emphasized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
