Colocutaneous Fistula

Colocutaneous fistulae secondary to diverticular disease are rare, especially spontaneous fistulae. We report a case of a 74-year-old lady, with no previous history of diverticular disease, presenting with necrotising fasciitis of the anterior abdominal wall in the left iliac fossa, without any other symptoms. Urgent surgery was performed. An initial diagnostic laparoscopy demonstrated a perforated sigmoid diverticulum forming a fistula to the anterior abdominal wall. Following soft tissue debridement, a sigmoid colectomy was performed through a midline laparotomy. Gastrointestinal pathology should be considered as a potential cause of abdominal wall necrotising fasciitis. Our approach of using laparoscopic visualisation to assess for intra-abdominal sources in this context (in the absence of preoperative imaging when imaging could delay treatment) has not been described before. To our knowledge, only two cases of abdominal wall necrotising fasciitis secondary to diverticular disease with a colocutaneous fistula have been reported in the English literature.

Necrotizing fasciitis is a progressive infection of fascia that is associated with necrosis of subcutaneous tissues. It has high morbidity and mortality rates because the diagnosis is often not made early enough to institute the aggressive treatment that is necessary to prevent death. We herein report a case of necrotizing fasciitis of the anterior abdominal wall following a myomectomy in an obese diabetic female that was diagnosed early enough to allow for a favorable outcome following aggressive antibiotic therapy and surgical debridement.

Bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital malformation. It presents as leakage of urine in the anterior abdominal wall following defects in midline anterior abdominal wall skin and bladder. We report the use of combined general anaesthesia and caudal epidural analgesia in a 4yr old boy for repeat bladder exstrophy repair. Problems of prolonged surgery and the challenges of pain and sedation management in the post operative period are discussed.
