Enterovesical fistula (EVF) in Crohn's disease (CD) often does not improve with medical treatment and requires surgical treatment. The surgical treatment strategy for EVF in CD is definitive resection of the intestinal tract side, and performing a leak test using dye injection into the bladder after EVF dissection to determine the appropriate surgical procedure for the bladder side. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of surgical treatment for EVF in CD. Twenty-one patients who underwent surgery for EVF between 2006 and 2021 were included and retrospectively evaluated for clinical background, surgical procedures, and postoperative complications. The most common origin of EVF was the ileum (17 cases; 81%), and the most common site of EVF formation was the apex (12; 57%). Surgical approaches were laparotomy in 11 (52%) cases and laparoscopy in 10 (48%). Surgical procedures on the bladder side were fistula dissection in 13 (62%) cases and sutured closure of fistula in 8 (38%). A comparison of approaches revealed no significant difference in operative time, but the amount of blood loss was significantly less in the laparoscopy (p < 0.01). There was no significant difference in the occurrence of postoperative complications between approaches. Postoperative anti-TNF-α antibody agents were used in 17 (81%) cases, and there were no cases of recurrent EVF. In conclusion, definitive resection of the intestinal tract and minimal treatment on the bladder side were sufficient to achieve satisfactory outcomes for EVF in CD.

A G4P4 woman in her 30s with a type II vesicouterine fistula, as defined by the Jozwik classification system, presented with symptoms of menouria, vaginal menses and urinary incontinence 8 years after caesarean delivery, the time of probable origination of the fistula tract. Transvaginal ultrasound identified a fistula tract communicating between the bladder and uterus, a rare finding that many years remote from caesarean delivery. Traditional surgical technique includes laparoscopic, abdominal and endoscopic methods of repair, sometimes using a transvesical approach. Transvesical repair can be associated with subsequent inpatient hospital stays and prolonged catheterisation. Our technique proposes a transvaginal surgical approach as an outpatient procedure with decreased operating time (40 min), postoperative pain and catheterisation requirement. It is the authors' belief that a transvaginal approach is less invasive and allows for better preservation of the uterus for future pregnancies and vaginal deliveries, as desired by the patient.

BACKGROUND: Ileoanal pouch is a demanding procedure with many potential technical complications including bladder or ureteral injury, while inflammation or stricture of the anastomosis or anal transition zone may lead to the formation of strictures and fistulae, including to the adjacent urethra. Pouch urinary tract fistulae are rare. We aimed to describe the presentation, diagnostic workup, and management of patients with pouch urinary at our center. METHODS: Our prospectively maintained pouch registry was queried using diagnostic codes and natural language processing free-text searches to identify ileoanal pouch patients diagnosed with any pouch-urinary tract fistula from 1997 to 2022. Descriptive statistics and pouch survival using Kaplan-Meier curves are presented. Numbers represent frequency (proportion) or median (range). RESULTS: Over 25 years, urinary fistulae were observed 27 pouch patients; of these, 16 of the index pouches were performed at our institution [rate 0.3% (16/5236)]. Overall median age was 42 (27-62) years, and 92.3% of the patients were male. Fistula locations included pouch-urethra in 13 patients (48.1%), pouch-bladder in 12 patients (44.4%), and anal-urethra in 2 (7.4%). The median time from pouch to fistula was 7.0 (0.3-38) years. Pouch excision and end ileostomy were performed in 12 patients (bladder fistula, n = 3; urethral fistula, n = 9), while redo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) was performed in 5 patients (bladder fistula, n = 3; urethral fistula, n = 2). The 5-year overall pouch survival after fistula to the bladder was 58.3% vs. 33.3% with urethral fistulae (p = 0.25). CONCLUSION: Pouch-urinary tract fistulae are a rare, morbid, and difficult to treat complication of ileoanal pouch that requires a multidisciplinary, often staged, surgical approach. In the long term, pouches with bladder fistulae were more likely to be salvaged than pouches with urethral fistulae.

Appendicovesical fistula is a rare complication associated with appendicitis, Crohn's disease, or appendiceal tumors, posing significant diagnostic challenges. We reported a pediatric case of appendicovesical fistula that remained undiagnosed by non-contrast computed tomography, fluoroscopic voiding cystourethrography (VCUG). Although identified during cystoscopy, its connection to the fistula site could not be determined. However, the transvesical contrast-enhanced ultrasound clearly demonstrated the presence of fistula. Subsequently, laparoscopic appendectomy and bladder repair were performed successfully, leading to complete recovery in the patient. To our knowledge, this is the first reported diagnosis of appendicovesical fistula in children using contrast-enhanced ultrasound.

Bladder stones represent approximately 5% of all cases of urolithiasis and are typically identified and managed long before causing irreversible renal injury. We present a case of a man in his 40s with a prior history of a gunshot wound to the abdomen who presented with leakage from a previously healed suprapubic tube tract and was found to have a giant bladder stone with a resulting renal injury. He subsequently underwent a combined open cystolithotomy and vesicocutaneous fistulotomy during his hospitalisation, which helped to improve his renal function. In addition to there being few reported cases of bladder stones >10 cm, this represents the first report in the literature of an associated decompressive 'pop-off' mechanism through a fistulised tract.

OBJECTIVE: Children with congenital anorectal malformation (CAM) experience challenges with defecation. This study aims to assess defecation in preschool-age children with CAM and to evaluate the correlation between pelvic floor muscle developed assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and postoperative defecation. METHODS: We collected clinical data and MRI results from 89 male children with CAM. The bowel function scores for children with Perineal (cutaneous) fistula, Rectourethral fistula(Prostatic or Bulbar), and Rectovesical fistula were computed. MRI scans were subjected to image analysis of the striated muscle complex (SMC). The association between pelvic floor muscle score and bowel function score was examined using the Cochran-Armitage Trend Test. RESULTS: We observed that 77.4% of the SMC scores by MRI for Perineal fistula were good. The Rectourethral fistula SMC score was 40.6% for moderate and 59.4% for poor. The SMC score for Rectovesical fistula was 100% for moderate. Furthermore, 77.4% of patients with Perineal fistula had bowel function scores (BFS) ≥ 17 points. Among those with Rectourethral fistula and Rectovesical fistula, 12.5% and 0 had BFS ≥ 17 points, respectively. An analysis of muscle development and bowel function in patients with Rectovesical fistula, Rectourethral fistula, and Perineal fistula revealed a correlation between SMC development and BFS. Subgroup analysis showed that the Perineal fistula had statistical significance; however, the Rectourethral fistula and Rectovesical fistula were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: A correlation exists between pelvic floor muscle development and postoperative defecation in children with Perineal fistula.

Successful surgical management of a chronic complex abdominal fistula requires thoughtful pre-operative evaluation and planning and often benefits from a multi-disciplinary approach. Initially, attention is focused on controlling sepsis and ensuring adequate hydration and electrolyte replacement. Next, efforts to optimize nutrition and engage the patient in prehabilitation are prioritized. Simultaneously, imaging is used to gain detailed assessment of anatomy. We present a challenging case involving a Jackson-Pratt (JP) drain from prior surgery causing a complex intra-abdominal fistula. The JP drain traversed multiple small bowel loops and the sigmoid colon before terminating in the bladder. Management required multi-disciplinary coordination involving colorectal surgery and urology. The patient's definitive surgery included anterior resection, colostomy takedown, right colectomy, three small bowel resections, and bladder repair. The use of JP drains after abdominal surgery is not without risk. Clinicians should have standardized indications for placement of JP drains and consistent protocols regarding timing of removal.

BACKGROUND: Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is considered the preferred restorative surgical procedure for patients with ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis requiring proctocolectomy. Unfortunately, postoperative leaks remain a complication with potentially significant ramifications. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive description of the evaluation, management, and outcomes of leaks after primary IPAA procedures. METHODS: Between 1995 and 2022, a total of 4058 primary IPAA procedures were performed at Cleveland Clinic. From a prospectively maintained pouch registry, we retrospectively reviewed the data of 237 patients who presented to the pouch center for management. Of these, 114 (3%) had undergone the index IPAA procedure at our clinic (de novo cases), whereas 123 patients had their index IPAA performed elsewhere. Data were missing for 43 patients, resulting in a final cohort of 194 patients. RESULTS: Our cohort had an average age of 41 years (range, 16-76) at the time of leak diagnosis. Overall, 55.2% were males, average body mass index was 24.4 kg/m2, and pain was the most prevalent presenting symptom (61.8%), followed by fever (34%). Leaks were confirmed through diagnostic testing in 141 cases, whereas 27.3% were detected intraoperatively. The most common initial diagnoses were pelvic abscess (47.4%) and enteric fistulas (26.8%), including cutaneous (9.8%), vaginal (7.2%), and bladder fistulas (3.1%). By location, leaks occurred at the tip of the "J" (52.6%), at the pouch-anal anastomotic site (35%), and in the body of the pouch (12.4%). A nonoperative management approach was initially attempted in 49.5% of cases, including antibiotic therapy, drainage, endoclip, and endo-sponge, with a success rate of 18.5%. Surgery was eventually required in 81.4% of patients, including (1) sutured or stapled pouch repair (52.5%), with diversion performed in 87.9% of these cases either before or during the salvage surgery; (2) pouch excision with neo-IPAA (22.7%), including 9 patients from the first group; and (3) pouch disconnection, repair, and reanastomosis (9.3%). Pouch failure occurred in 8.4%, with either pouch excision (11.1%) or permanent diversion (4.5%). Ultimately, 12.4% of patients (24 of 194) required permanent diversion, with all necessitating pouch excision. In the 30-day follow-up after salvage surgery, short-term complications arose in 38.7% of patients. The most common complications observed were ileus, pelvic abscess/sepsis, and fever. CONCLUSION: Leaks after primary IPAA procedures represent an infrequent, yet challenging, complication. Despite attempts at nonoperative management, the success rate is limited. Salvage surgery is associated with a high pouch retention rate, underscoring its importance in the management of post-IPAA leaks.

AIM: Aim of the study to summarize the current information on diagnostic and treatment options for uterovesical fistula as a consequence of iatrogenic complication. Methods: Literature review of available information on surgical treatment options for uterovesical fistula resulting from previous caesarean section and comparison with our own experience in the developing world. Conclusion: Uterovesical fistula is an abnormal communication between the bladder and uterus. The cause of this pathology in most cases is an iatrogenic complication, most commonly arising after a caesarean section. The incidence of this pathology varies significantly geographically. In developed countries, these fistulas are rather rare. On the other hand, in developing countries, uterovesical fistulas are more common with a significant impact on the subsequent life of the patient due to generally inaccessible health care.

Enterovesical fistula represents an abnormal communication between the intestine and bladder. The causes are diverticulitis (56.3%), malignant tumours, which are located mainly in the intestine (20.1%), and Crohn's disease (9.1%). Other causes include iatrogenic injury (3.2%); trauma; foreign bodies in the intestinal tract; radiotherapy; chronic appendicitis; tuberculosis; and syphilis. Normal vaginal delivery as a cause for enterovesical fistula has not been reported in many publications yet. We report a case of a 30-year-old female, who developed an jejunovesical fistula after normal vaginal delivery. It was diagnosed after diagnostic cystoscopy and computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis. There was jejuno-vesical fistula. Resection of the segment of the jejunum with side-to-side anastomosis with bladder repair was done. A follow-up cystogram was done which showed no contrast extravasation into the peritoneum. The patient was followed up for 9 months after surgery. Keywords: case reports; fistula; jejunum; urinary bladder.

Enterovesical fistula formation is a relatively rare disease process although a common complication for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), notably Crohn's disease. Enterovesical fistulas most commonly arise from diverticulitis (65-80%), cancer (10-20%), or Crohn's disease (5-7%). An increasing amount of evidence supports the use of ultrasonography as the primary imaging method for the monitoring of complications in individuals with a documented history of IBD. Our case report presents a 30-year-old female with a history of Crohn's disease who presented to the Emergency Department with concern for possible enterovesical fistula formation. Using bedside gray-scale ultrasonography, a fistulous tract clearly visualizing air bubbles and fecal matter actively moving from bowel to the bladder through the fistula was visualized confirming the diagnosis of an enterovesical fistula. While CT imaging is instrumental in identifying mural and extramural complications of IBD, performing ultrasonography in patients with IBD serves as an efficient, inexpensive, and noninvasive diagnostic aid for the diagnosis of enterovesical fistula.

ABSTRACT: A 60-year-old man with colonic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was referred for FDG PET/CT for initial staging. He was suspected of enterovesical fistula. After oral administration, large amounts of contrast agents accumulated in the bowel lumen and leaked into the bladder through a well-marked fistulous tract. Corresponding to the fistula, a linear pattern of FDG uptake extended from the bladder into the colonic lumen, and the measured SUV max inside the lesion was as high as that of the urinary bladder. Cystography confirmed the presence of the enterovesical fistula.

PURPOSE: Perioperative and early post-operative outcomes of Primary Posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (P-PSARP) were evaluated. METHOD: Retrospective analysis of cases who underwent P-PSARP from 2004 to 2019 was done. Perioperative care, management, complications, voluntary bowel movement, soiling and constipation, graded by Krickenbeck criteria were studied. RESULTS: One hundred fifty six patients (134 girls) underwent P-PSARP at median age of 5 months (3 months to 14 years) in girls and 5(1-10) days in 21 boys. One male cloaca was operated at 5 months age. Of 20 boys, 5, 8, 4, 3 had rectobulbar urethral fistula, rectoprostatic urethral fistula, bladder neck fistula and male cloaca. Girls had vestibular fistula, rectovaginal fistula, vulval anus, anterior ectopic anus, pouch perineal fistulae and posterior anus with H type fistula in 114, 7, 6, 5, 1 and 1. Complications included wound infection, excoriation, oedema, mucosal prolapse, anal stricture, anal retraction and mortality in 6, 4, 5, 4, 4, 1 and 1, respectively. 35/155(12 neonates) required postoperative dilatations for 5(1-12) months. At follow-up, 96/114(84.2%) had voluntary bowel movements. 46/155 (29.7%) and 9/155 had constipation and soiling. 32:14:0 had grade 1:2:3 constipation, treated with diet (grade 1) and laxatives (grade 2) respectively. 4:3:2 had grade 1:2:3 soiling for initial 3 months, treated with bowel management programme. CONCLUSION: P-PSARP is feasible, subject to proper case selection and good perioperative care, once learning curve is achieved.
