Case Report- Caecovaginal fistula following hysterectomy-a case report

Colonic fistulas are usually complications of surgery, either colonic, pelvic or other abdominal surgeries. Other aetiologies like diverticular disease, crohn′s disease, pelvic irradiation and pelvic abscess have been implicated. We came across a patient with caecovaginal fistula following hysterectomy who presented with faecal discharge per vaginum. Lapartotomy and excision of the fistulous tract was done. Although, fistulas are reported frequently in sigmoid colon, rest of the colon can be involved. But there is no reported case of caecovaginal fistula, even after thorough Internet search of Pubmed.
