A rare complication after hysterectomy: A chronic colo-cutaneous fistula Histerektomi sonrası nadir bir komplikasyon: kronik kolo-kutanöz fistül

Although adjacent organ fistulas such as the rectovaginal and vesico-vaginal fistula could be seen after hysterectomy, enterocutaneous fistulas are rarely encountered. In literature, enterocutaneous fistulas those are seen after hysterectomy are reported in association to underlying diseases such as tubo-ovarian abscess, coloovarian cyst fistula, diverticular disease and malignancy. In this report, we discussed a case that underwent abdominal hysterectomy by a diagnosis of pelvic mass 1.5 years ago, and in which the colo-cutaneous fistula formation is thought to be caused by a tuboovarian abscess or an iatrogenic colon injury that occurred during hysterectomy.
