3-dimensional computerized tomographic reconstruction of colovesical fistulas.
OBJECTIVE
Use of 3-dimensional tomographic reconstruction in evaluating colovesical fistulas is discussed.


METHODS
We compared 3-dimensional computerized tomographic (CT) images of colovesical fistulas to conventional CT images.


RESULTS
Successful surgical repair was facilitated by preoperative radiographic data.


CONCLUSIONS
Three-dimensional CT reconstruction provides superior spacial detail and can clarify complex anatomical relationships preoperatively.
