title: [Sigmoido-uterine fistula of diverticular origin. Review of the literature apropos of a case].
abstract: The authors report one case of sigmoid-uterine fistula of diverticular origin with a favorable outcome after an ideal colectomy associated with subtotal hysterectomy. They emphasize the rarity of this complication, due to the resistance of the uterine tissue. Its diagnosis is primarily clinical, and other examinations are required only to establish the etiological diagnosis. Surgery must be curative, ideally in one stage including the treatment of the diverticular disease and that of its gynecological consequences, which may vary according to the local conditions.
