title: [Surgical management of entero-vesical fistulas in Crohn's disease].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestine that can cause an attack by contiguity of the urinary tract. Although the shape is common and fistulizing 35% of all patients with CD, entero-urinary fistulas are rare and only seen in 2-8% of patients. aim: To report the frequency of occurrence of this complication among the group of surgical forms of CD. Describe the different pathophysiological mechanisms of occurrence of entero-vesical fistula (EVF) during the CD. methods: We report, retrospectively, seven observations of EVF complicating MC made during the period from 01/01/1998 until 31/12/2010. results: The mean age of patients was 30 years. There were 3 men and 4 women. All patients had clinical signs and radiological EVF. In six patients, CD was ileo-caecal and the ileo-vesical fistula was between the last loop and the bladder. In one patient, the CD was located only in colon, and the fistula was between sigmoid colon and bladder. Level of the bladder, it was a false EVF in five patients and a true EVF in two patients. In these last two, the fistula of 2 mm, was on the top of the bladder. Treatment consisted in all cases by a disconnect between the digestive tract and bladder, resection with restoration of digestive continuity, and if the case of true EVF, a freshening the edges of the fistula with suture of the bladder's wall and drainage. The postoperative course was uneventful in six patients and marked by an outbreak intraperitoneal abcess in one patient who had evolved under medical treatment. After a mean of eleven months, no recurrence surgery was noted.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Despite advanced treatment in the context of CD, the indication in EVF is a surgical treatment. Surgery helps fight against the consequences of septic urinary tract, but also to launder bowel disease and reduce the risk of recurrence in the short term.
