[Diagnosis and treatment of gastrocolic fistulae and erroneous anastomoses following gastric resection].

Results are reported of a clinical examination and surgical treatment of seven cases with gastro-jejunocolic fistulas and five cases with gastroileoanastomosis. The clinical picture, irrigography, steatorrhea, hypoproteinemia, etc. are stressed upon as important for the diagnosis. The operation result depended on the degree of the resorbtive disturbances, on successful reanimation and frequent postoperative complications. Postoperative lethality is five out of 12 cases.
