Gastrointestinal fistula as a serious complication could lead to imbalance of nutrition or death. Duodenal fistula after orthotopic liver transplantation is rare and its treatment is complicated. On April 28, 200, we performed orthotopic liver transplantation for a patient at our hospital. Eight days after operation duodenal fistula developed, but cured after 13-day treatment.
