Gastrocolic fistula caused by benign gastric ulcer is an intriguing condition when it occurs in the patient who has not had prior operation. Four such cases are presented here and similar past cases are reviewed. The authors recount the history of surgical thought concerning this disorder and make recommendations for the preoperative and intraoperative approach to these patients.

Gastrocolic fistula secondary to a benign gastric ulcer is an extreme rarity. We recently treated a 81-year-old female with an en-bloc resection of the fistula tract combined with truncal vagotomi and pyloroplasty. The symptoms typical of a gastrocolic fistula, the diagnostic procedures and treatment are discussed.

Gastrocolic fistula is a rare complication of benign gastric ulcer disease. It has been associated more commonly, in the past, with marginal ulceration following gastrojejunostomy for peptic ulcer disease. We will describe a classic case of gastrocolic fistula as a complication of acetylsalicylic acid abuse in a middle aged female with a remote history of aspirin induced ulcer. Her presentation was classic and required a surgical approach with excellent recovery. We will describe the clinical, radiographic, endoscopic and surgical aspects of this interesting and unusual disorder.

Gastrocolic fistula formation is an extremely rare complication of gastric ulcer disease. We report a case of a 55-year-old man who presented with a two-month history of abdominal discomfort, postprandial diarrhea, nausea and faecal vomiting. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed an ulcer in the greater curvature of the stomach. Barium enema examination revealed an obvious gastrocolic fistula between the greater curvature of the stomach and the transverse colon. The involved segment of the colon was excised and truncal vagotomy and antrectomy was performed. The patient was discharged on the 7th postoperative day. It is concluded that cases with postprandial diarrhea and nutritional disturbances after gastric surgery should remind us of the probability of gastrocolic fistula formation.
