[Colo-vesical fistulas in acute pathology of the colon].
A survey of the relevant literature and a statement of the acute diseases of the colon giving rise to urological complications are followed by a short account of the subjective and objective symptoms of colo-vesical fistulae. An assessment is also made of the advantages of careful diagnostic, clinical and instrumental appraisal. The classic management of such fistulae is described, and the main features of the surgical technique required are illustrated. Successful employment of total parenteral therapy in 13 cases of enteric fistula (including 2 colo-vesical cases) at the University of Genoa "R" Surgical Clinic is reported. The indications, contraindications and complications associated with this method are explained. The modalities whereby a gradual transition is made to feeding per os are described and the results obtained are evaluated.
