This article describes a case of successful endoscopic treatment for cholecystocolic fistula, indicating its usefulness for patients who decline surgery.
Background: Cholecystocolic fistula (CCF) is a known but rare complication of cholelithiasis. Treatment for CCF is generally surgical. As the number of elderly patients has increased in recent years, many cases require non-surgical treatment; therefore, endoscopic treatment has gained importance. Patient concerns and diagnosis: An 87-year-old woman presented with impaired consciousness and symptoms of anorexia. Computed tomography showed cholecystitis and a fistula between the gallbladder and transverse colon. Colonoscopy revealed a CCF. The condition was diagnosed as CCF caused by acute cholecystitis. Interventions and outcomes: The patient declined surgery due to her age. Endoscopic fistula closure was performed using a through-the-scope clip after endoscopic naso-gallbladder drainage. Successful closure of the fistula resulted in improvement of cholecystitis and anorexia. The patient was discharged after one month. It has been more than 18 months since the procedure, there has been no recurrence. Conclusion: This report on successful endoscopic closure of a CCF indicates that it may be useful for patients who decline surgery.
