The Crohn's disease-associated tumor necrosis factor haplotype a2blc2d4e1 may define a subgroup of medically unresponsive patients with ulcerative colitis who are predisposed to a higher incidence of pouch-specific complications after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.
Despite their anatomic proximity, communication between the colorectum and seminal vesicle is an uncommon event. We describe the first reported case of a fistula between the colon and seminal vesicle as a complication of diverticulitis. This case report is followed by a literature review of other reported cases of fistula formation between the seminal vesicle and the colon.
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.
