[Fistula following emergency total colectomy: an efficient method of treatment].
A personal case of enterocutaneous fistula secondary to total emergency colectomy is reported with particular emphasis on an effective form of radiological management, based on the percutaneous sclerosing of the fistulous tract using absolute ethanol and a hyperosmotic contrast medium (Angioconray 80%). By this approach a rapid closure of the fistulous tract was obtained. Moreover the procedure was easy to perform, well tolerated by the patient and devoid of untoward side effects.
