The rectovaginal or rectovesical fistula is a rare complication after low anterior resection for rectal cancer. Treatment is difficult and the result is often unsatisfactory.The aim of this paper was to present results of treatment with transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps of rectovaginal and rectovesical fistulas as complication of low anterior rectal resection due to adenocarcinoma.Material and methods. We report six patients with rectovaginal or rectovesical fistulas as a postoperative complication after low anterior resection of rectal cancer in Department of Oncological and Reconstructive Surgery in 2006-2008. Transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps are used for rectovaginal and rectovesical fistulas treatment.Results. In the follow-up period from 4 to 30 months no rectovaginal or rectovesical fistula recurrences and any postoperative complications were noted in all cases.Conclusions. Transverse (TRAM) rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps are an effective, surgical method for rectovaginal or rectovesical fistulas treatement, especially in patients who recived pre or postoperative radiotherapy.

Postoperative gastrointestinal fistulae occur more often in patients undergoing surgical treatment for oncological reasons than non-oncological reasons. Fistula is associated with a number of serious sequelae and complications: fluid and electrolyte abnormalities, acid-base abnormalities, local and systemic infection and progressive cachexia that increase morbidity, treatment duration and mortality. Development of fistula additionally delays or prevents specific treatment in oncology. For a patient, a fistula is associated with both physical and mental suffering resulting from concern over further therapy.Although the introduction of advanced surgical techniques, intensive postoperative care, total parenteral nutrition and modern enteral nutrition, resulted in decreased postoperative mortality, however the number of patients with gastrointestinal fistulae hospitalized in the departments of surgery is not decreasing. This may result from the fact that many patients still present for treatment in the advanced phase of their malignancy (clinical stage III/IV according to International Union Against Cancer - UICC) and consequently in worse general status, which poses a high risk of postoperative complications and requires more extensive procedures in progressively older patients. Thus gastrointestinal fistulae still remain a serious clinical problem. Main components of treatment of fistulae include: adequate draining, fighting of infections, artificial nutrition and drugs that decrease gastrointestinal secretion (e.g. somatostatin) that are intended to create conditions for spontaneous fistula healing. Some cases may require an early or late surgical intervention.

Gastrojejunocolic fistula is an unusual finding in patients with colon neoplams because long evolution time is required for its appearance. The methods of diagnosis have been and continue under discussion, being the barium enema the most accepted nowadays.Gastrocolic fistula is characterized by a declining incidence due to the new methods of diagnosis. An early detection of the tumour is completely necessary to prevent complications like fistulas or malnutrition.We present a case report of gastrojejunocolic fistula in a 49 year-old patient with colon carcinoma.

Inflammation of the periapical tissue may lead to the development of complications involving cooperation between many medical specialists. The cutaneous fistula is a rare complication of chronic alveolus inflammation being diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to unspecific symptoms. The correct diagnostic protocol may influence correct diagnosis, localization of the primary site of inflammation and the appropriate treatment.

The progress of the modern graphic technology is connected with better diagnosing of the pseudocyst of the pancreas in clinical practice. The pancreas pseudocysts are diagnosed accidentally in 20% of the patients in ultrasound examination, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or endosonography; 24% of the patients reveal such abnormality in autopsy examinations. Pseudocyst is a complication occurring in 7–15% of acute pancreatitis patients. Usually they dissolve spontaneously, however, pseudocysts of diameter higher than 6 cm have a 30–50% risk of complications such as: rupture, bleeding and infection. Pseudocyst can turn in abscess in few weeks since acute pancreatitis. In this article we would like to present a case of spontaneous drainage of pancreatic abscess into gastric lumen. The treatment options for this entity are dictated by the severity of symptoms, the size of the pseudocyst, the ductal anatomy, and the surgical expertise available. Surgical drainage using open laparotomy or percutaneous drainage were the chosen treatment options. In most of the cases open surgical drainage should be reserved for patients in whom pancreatic necrosis, abscess, haemorrhage, or rupture of pseudocyst occurs. Transmural drainage using approach endoscopic ultrasound guidance is a technically feasible, minimally invasive, and safe procedure for drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst.

Postęp w dziedzinie współczesnych technik obrazowania sprawił, że zmiany torbielowate trzustki są coraz częściej rozpoznawane w praktyce klinicznej. Wykrywa się je przypadkowo u około 20% pacjentów, u których wykonywane są badania obrazowe (ultrasonografia, tomografia komputerowa, rezonans magnetyczny, endosonografia), zaś badania autopsyjne potwierdzają ich obecność aż u 24% badanych. Torbiel rzekoma jest powikłaniem rozwijającym się u 7–15% pacjentów z ostrym zapaleniem trzustki. Przeważnie ulega samoistnej regresji, jednak w przypadku zmian o średnicy większej niż 6 cm ryzyko wystąpienia powikłań, takich jak pęknięcie, krwotok czy infekcja, oceniane jest na 30–50%. Na podłożu torbieli rzekomej w ciągu kilku tygodni od epizodu ostrego zapalenia trzustki może rozwinąć się ropień. W niniejszym artykule opisujemy przypadek samoistnego drenażu ropnia trzustki do światła żołądka. Wskazaniem do leczenia torbieli rzekomej jest występowanie objawów klinicznych i powikłań. Leczenie zależy od stopnia nasilenia objawów, wielkości torbieli, rodzaju powikłań oraz doświadczenia i preferencji danego ośrodka. Nadal wykorzystywane są metody chirurgiczne, takie jak laparotomia czy drenaż przezskórny, jednak w większości przypadków powinny one być zarezerwowane dla pacjentów, u których mamy do czynienia z zakażoną martwicą trzustki, obecnością ropni, krwotokiem lub pęknięciem torbieli. Przezścienny drenaż torbieli rzekomej trzustki pod kontrolą endoskopowej ultrasonografii jest zabiegiem technicznie wykonalnym, małoinwazyjnym i bezpiecznym dla pacjenta.
