Gastrointestinal Fistula
A gastrointestinal fistula is an abnormal connection that forms between the digestive tract and another organ, the skin, or another part of the intestine, allowing contents to pass through a route that should not exist.
Possible signs: Depending on its location, it may be associated with fluid leaking from a wound, abdominal discomfort, digestive changes, or changes in overall condition.
Common causes: They are usually linked to prior surgeries, intestinal inflammation, infections, or injuries in the area.
Which specialist treats it? The general surgeon, the gastroenterologist, and the proctologist evaluate this type of abnormality depending on the site affected. When there are persistent digestive symptoms or abnormal fluid leakage, seeing a professional allows the case to be studied in detail.
