title: [Vesico-intestinal fistulae].
abstract: Review of vesicointestinal fistulae cases treated in the Urology Unit at our hospital over the last few years. Most frequently seen cause was colorectal cancer (66%) and most frequent location was vesicosigmoideal (50%). Clinical signs and symptoms were varied, mainly urinary infection in 100% cases, pneumaturia in 66% and fecaluria in 50%. Opaque enema and cystography were great diagnostic aids as complementary methods. Also U.I.V., cystoscopy, rectoscopy and C.A.T. were used. Treatment was surgical in all cases where the patient's general health status allowed it.
