title: 3-dimensional computerized tomographic reconstruction of colovesical fistulas.
abstract: 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.
