Gastrocolic fistula: a rare complication of benign gastric ulcer.

Gastrocolic fistula secondary to a benign gastric ulcer is an extreme rarity. We recently treated a 81-year-old female with an en-bloc resection of the fistula tract combined with truncal vagotomi and pyloroplasty. The symptoms typical of a gastrocolic fistula, the diagnostic procedures and treatment are discussed.
