Tuboenterocutaneous fistula following caesarean section
Keywords:
Tuboenterocutaneous fistula, Lower segment caesarean section (LSCS)Abstract
Fistulous communication between fallopian tube, sigmoid colon and the skin after caesarean section is an unreported entity so far. Here we report a case of tuboenterocutaneous fistula which developed after wound complication following lower segment caesarean section (LSCS). Computed tomography (CT) was used to diagnose the case and laparotomy was done as definitive surgery.
