TUBERCULAR ENTEROCUTENEOUS FISTULA, A RARE POST OPERATIVE COMPLICATION
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
One of the post operative complications of abdominal surgeries that lead to very high morbidity and significant mortality is the enterocutaneous fistula. Incorrect judgement by the surgeon for surgery and inadequate preoperative assessments often lead to this complication. Tuberculosis is one of the rare associating causes of it. Our case report is about a 22 year old female, who was operated by a gynaecologist without prior preoperative assessment and laded in post operative enterocutaneous fistula. After thorough investigations it was diagnosed as a case of tuberculosis. The diagnosis was made by bacteriological and histopathological examination of the faecal matter and the local tissues respectively.
