Abstract |
Here we report a rare case of a reopened gastrostomy fistula 21-years after spontaneous closure. A male newborn underwent gastrostomy by laparotomy because of esophageal atresia shortly after birth. The gastrostomy tube was removed at 7 months old because he could consume enough oral nutrition. At the age of 21, however, the fistula reopened to form a labial fistula. When he consulted to our hospital, we observed a large skin sore with redness at the site of the fistula, which was caused by gastric outflow. We chose to resect the fistula by open surgery as a reliable therapeutic method in consideration of his future social life. The postoperative course was unremarkable. |
