Gastrojejunocolic Fistula treatment in Mexico City

A gastrojejunocolic fistula is an abnormal connection that forms between the stomach, the jejunum (part of the small intestine), and the colon, creating an improper passage among these organs of the digestive system. It is an uncommon condition.

Common symptoms: Persistent diarrhea, weight loss, distinctive bad breath, and, at times, the presence of undigested food remnants in the stool.

Common causes: It is usually related to complications from prior digestive surgeries, ulcers, or inflammatory and tumor-related processes of the digestive tract.

Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist and the general surgeon are the professionals who study this type of abnormal connection to determine management. If there are persistent and unexplained digestive symptoms, especially with a history of abdominal surgery, it's a good idea to seek specialized evaluation.
