title: [Diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of vesico-colonic fistulae. Review of our experience].
abstract: Analysis of 10 fistulae in 9 patients, all male. The etiology was diverse although there was a predominance of colovesical diverticulitis. Mictional urinary symptomatology was most frequent. In one case symptoms had been first referred 10 months earlier, while the others ranged between 24 hours and 15 days. Cystography was the radiological procedure which diagnosed more cases whereas cystoscopy was the endoscopic procedure which provides more data. Seven fistulae were treated surgically, in 5 instances with curative and 2 with palliative purposes. Three cases were subsidiary to surgery. 44.4% of patients died within one month from diagnosis.
