[Postsplenectomy gastric fistula: report of a case].
Gastric perforation following splenectomy is a rare complication occurring in less than 1% of patients and it is mainly associated with iatrogenic injury to the greater curvature of the stomach. The authors report a case of gastric fistula in a patient who underwent splenectomy for blunt abdominal trauma and discuss the main etiopathogenic and diagnostic aspects.
