Postsleeve gastrectomy fistula is a genuine confusion, and it’s the board remains very testing. The clinical show of persistent fistula later sleeve gastrectomy (SG) fluctuates broadly and relies upon the sort of fistula. The executives requires a multidisciplinary approach and patient collaboration. We present an instance of a 41-year-elderly person with a weight file (BMI) of 46 kg/m2 who at first went through laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in our clinic. Afterward, she fostered a gastro-colo-diaphragmatic fistula (GCD), which was effectively treated utilizing an endolaparoscopic approach. Follow-up imaging and endoscopy showed total mending of the fistula, just as a checked clinical improvement of the patient. Gastrocolo- diaphragmatic fistula following sleeve gastrectomy is an amazingly uncommon complexity. This is the main instance of a GCD fistula later sleeve gastrectomy that has been accounted for in the writing. One arranged endolaparoscopic the board was effective methodology for our situation and can be considered for complex gastric fistula following sleeve gastrectomy. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a productive treatment for treating various levels of stoutness. This prohibitive system is progressively performed around the world.
LSG has been accounted for to have a lower grimness rate than that of Roux-en-Y gastric detour or biliopancreatic redirection, with or without duodenal exchanging.LSG is related with four huge intricacies, including staple-line dying, holes, fistulas, and gastric injuries. Notwithstanding the generally low rate of fistula later sleeve gastrectomy (0.9%- 2.6%), they are related with huge dreariness and a drawn out emergency clinic stay and stay perhaps the most destroying complication. The administration of these patients is very difficult, and distinctive treatment approaches are utilized, going from endoscopic treatment to more perplexing modification medical procedure. Sadly, right now, no agreement or treatment calculation has been proposed.
A 41-year-elderly person with a known instance of blood vessel hypertension, metabolic condition, type 2 DM, despondency, nicotine misuse, and ongoing agony disorder on various pain relievers went through laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in September 2018 at our establishment, with an underlying BMI of 46.4 kg/m2. The underlying postoperative recuperation was unremarkable, and the patient was released following 5 days.
90 days postoperatively, the patient created manifestations of moderate postprandial epigastric and left subcostal torment. She kept any set of experiences from getting fever, shuddering, chest torment, or windedness. She was rebellious with her proton siphon inhibitors and didn't stop smoking. No set of experiences of sensitivity. On clinical assessment, she was essentially steady, with gentle delicacy in the epigastric district and the left hypochondrium. Her research facility results showed a gentle rise of CRP (11 mg/l) and an ordinary leukocyte count. The patient was conceded to our clinic for a further demonstrative workup to bar stable line-related complexities. The upper GI series showed no irregularities.
Stomach CT with oral and intravenous differentiation uncovered perigastric and perisplenic liquid assortment inside a walledoff cavity estimating 4 × 4.5 cm, without any extravasation of oral differenceIntroductory endoscopy, which is finished by our gastroenterologist, showed no proof of stable-line spillage, curving, or stenosi. On account of her steady side effects and a high clinical doubt of persistent sleeve spillage, just as nearness of assortment to splenic hilum, we chose to re-investigate the patient laparoscopically. Symptomatic laparoscopy was performed by specialist bariatric specialist and uncovered serious incendiary attachments in the proximal piece of the gastric sleeve with tissue friability. Consequently, the method is ended and a channel was set. Postoperatively, she was begun on intravenous anti-infection agents and parenteral sustenance for 5 days. The channel yield was unexceptional and eliminated on fourth postoperative day, and the patient was released following 5 days. At follow up visit following fourteen days, she revealed checked improvement of her manifestations.
After ten months, the patient introduced again with diligent epigastric and left upper quadrant torment transmitting to the left shoulder and connected with successive diarrheas and feculent breath, without any set of experiences of retching or respiratory indications. Clinical assessment uncovered a skinny female with epigastric delicacy and indications of pleuritis. Her research center outcomes showed a gentle rise of CRP (27 mg/l) and a typical leukocyte count. Stomach CT uncovered an unusual fistulous lot between the stapled line and the cross over colon, just as the left stomach and responsive negligible pleural emanation on the left side.
Peritoneal lavage was performed, abscess was drained, and a drain was placed in the abscess cavity. At the end of procedure, we decided to endoscopically place a polyurethane sponge (Endo- Sponge) at the fistula opening to reduce intragastric pressure and promote granulation and healing processes. Continuous suction (100 mmHg) was applied via drainage tubes fixed to the sponge, which was changed every three days. Postoperatively, she was started on antibiotics and parenteral nutrition. Adequate closure of the fistulous opening was achieved within 10 days. The drain was removed on 8th postoperative day. The pleural effusion was treated conservatively without chest tube. The patient was started on a clear diet and then advanced as tolerated, and she was Gastro-colo-diaphragmatic fistula later sleeve gastrectomy.

Controlled endoscopy and UGI series were performed 4 weeks following discharge, which revealed complete healing of the fistula site and no extravasation. Gastro-colo-diaphragmatic fistula is a rare surgical entity after sleeve gastrectomy, and it is frequently reported secondary to malignancy of the stomach or transverse colon, complicated peptic ulcer disease, and trauma. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a GCD fistula after SG that has been reported in the literature. Smoking was the major risk factor in our case.
GCD fistula can occur within 1 year postsurgery, as mentioned above, but may be observed later after initial surgery. The diagnosis of GCD fistula can be confirmed by gastrointestinal imaging, endoscopy, and diagnostic laparoscopy. The effectiveness of operative revision after such a complex fistula is sometimes limited by inflamed friable tissue adjacent to the fistula and severe adhesion, which prevents adequate closure of the defect. By contrast, different endoscopic interventions, such as a double pigtail, septostomy, intraluminal covered stents, and endo-VAC therapy, have been shown to be effective treatment options in selected cases. Our case was noncompliant, a heavy smoker, and under several painkillers; therefore, conversion to a gastric bypass procedure was not a suitable option. In our opinion, management of postsleeve gastrectomy fistulas must be guided by their onset, type, degree of sepsis, and size, as well as the presence or absence of gastric stenosis. The decision on the endoscopic approach must be individualized based on endoscopic findings. This case was reported in line with the SCARE Guidelines.
