title: [Gastrojejunocolic fistula. Report of 5 cases].
abstract: Gastrojejunocolic fistula is rare complication of recurrent peptic ulcer disease after gastrectomy and gastrojejunostomy. This paper reported five cases of gastrojejunocolic fistula. It's etiological, clinical, and surgical features were briefly discussed. The symptoms of gastrojejunocolic fistula are diarrhea, upper abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, fecal vomiting, anasarca, and weight loss. The physical examinations and laboratory studies revealed malnutrition. The diagnosis is most reliably and frequently made by barium enema and gastroscopy. Surgical treatment of gastrojejunocolic fistula includes one-stage resection, complete remove of antral mucosa; vagotomy; partial re-resection of the gastric stump; excision of the fistulous connection with the colon. TPN or TEN should be administered in patients suffering from malnutrition with TEN as the first choice in those when a nasoenteric tube could placed into the jejunum.
