Abstract
|
|
|
|
A fistula between the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems is generally caused by infection and trauma. We experienced a 51-year old man with a broncho-pleuro-gastro-colonic fistula. He complained of chronic foul odor during respiration. He had suffered a traumatic diaphragmatic rupture 30 years ago. The infection of the diaphragm caused necrosis of the right lower lobe of the lung. It also caused a broncho-pleural fistula. The infection also created adhesion and a perforation of the gastric cardiac portion and the colonic splenic flexus portion of the gastro-intestinal track. We performed left lower lobectomy of the lung, reconstruction of the diaphragm and gastro-intestinal re- anastomosis.
