“…Kumar et al has reported one such case in 2017 where the patient has spillage and presented 8 months following index surgery. 4 Our case had similar presentation but in our case there was no spillage, as gallbladder was intact and cholecystectomy was aborted in view of difficult cholecystectomy in a district hospital initially. Incidence of abdominal wall abscess due to gallbladder rupture, bilio-cutaneous fistula with intact gall bladder due to inflammation and adhesion of fundus with the anterior abdominal wall, has already been documented in literature but no case of peritoneo-cutaneous fistula formation with intact gallbladder has been documented so far.…”

Peritoneo-cutaneous fistula can occur following cholecystectomy due to leftover stones. However, cholecysto-cutaneous fistula has been found to be associated with complication of acute cholecystitis. But never before a fistula associated with abandoned cholecystectomy without spillage of stone have been described in literature. We describe a case report of a 25-year-old female presented with right upper quadrant serous discharge from a previous incision site for the past 8 months. The patient had a history of failed cholecystectomy one year back. The patient was evaluated radiologically with computed tomography sinogram and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatogram (MRCP) and found to have a tract communicating with subcutaneous tissue and gallbladder fossa with normal gallbladder anatomy and a single calculus. The patient was managed laparoscopically. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed successfully with excision of peritoneo-cutaneous fistula tract. All difficult and failed cholecystectomies should be attempted at high volume surgical centres by an experienced laparoscopic surgeon only.

“…Fistulization has also been documented and usually occurs as colo-cutaneous or biliary-cutaneous fistula. 1,3,4 Though rare, peritoneo-cutaneous fistula has also been documented following spilled stones. Kumar et al has reported one such case in 2017 where the patient has spillage and presented 8 months following index surgery.…”

“…The development of delayed peritoneo-cutaneous fistula has not been previously reported post-cesarean section but has been seen as a complication of difficult cholecystectomy, nephrectomy, peritoneal dialysis and secondary to perforated Dalkon shield. [3][4][5][6] Post cesarean section complications, both early and late are known since times. Even in a study dating back to 1983, the overall complication rate was 14.5% and the most common complication was infection (13.3%), in particular, endometritis (6.6%), urinary tract infection (3.1%), and wound infection (1.6%).…”

Peritoneo-cutaneous fistula is usually a rare but known entity. Such a case has not been reported after cesarean sections. A 26-year female presented to our clinic in May 2019 with persistent sero-purulent discharge from sinus over abdominal skin. The patient had previously undergone a cesarean section in April 2018 for premature rupture of membranes and non-progress of labour. The surgery and puerperal period were uneventful. The patient presented with document high-grade fever in June 2018. In August 2018, a localized painful swelling was noted by the patient herself over the abdomen, contrast-enhanced computed tomography, which suggested 6.3×3.9×3 cm collection in the right adnexal region and a fistulous tract communicating with abdominal skin. For the same she underwent surgery, wide local excision of the fistulous tract around elliptical skin incision was done. The development of delayed peritoneo-cutaneous fistula has been seen as a complication of difficult cholecystectomy.

“…To date, very few cases of PCF have been reported. These include the following: a PCF secondary to a perforated Dalkon shield [ 2 ], a delayed PCF post-bilateral nephrectomy [ 3 ], a delayed PCF from non-retrieved gallstones during laparoscopic cholecystectomy [ 4 ], a PCF from spilled gall bladder calculus following laparoscopic cholecystectomy [ 5 ], a PCF secondary to skin excoriation from a large chronic incisional hernia [ 6 ], and a PCF secondary to gallstone dropped at laparoscopic cholecystectomy 20 years earlier [ 7 ]. …”

We present the first case of peritoneal-cutaneous fistula (PCF) within ovarian carcinoma neoplastic infiltrates located inside a large abdominal hernia in a home hospice patient with massive ascites. It is an instructive case featuring a rapid diagnosis and efficient treatment of the PCF at home. As the patient refused hospitalization, she had successful paracentesis performed at home. Subsequent hydrocolloid dressing application, diuretics, and oral protein supplementation were recommended. Our intervention led to PCF closure, improved quality of life, and deepened the trust between the patient and the home hospice team. Our case demonstrates that in some instances, PCF may be efficiently treated at home, which may require paracentesis, appropriate dressings, and identification of all factors affecting healing. It also provides further support for the safety of paracentesis in home settings.
