ABSTRACT

An abnormal connection between two epithelial surfaces is called a fistula. This abnormal communication can result from a complication of a disease or surgery. The name of the fistula follows the two surfaces or lumens that it connects [2]. A cholecystocutaneous fistula is an unusual connection between the gallbladder and the skin. The cholecystocutaneous fistula is a rare clinical entity in surgical practice today. There are reports that have recorded events of spontaneous cholecystocutaneous fistulas occurring as early as the 17th century. In the same way, an enterocutaneous fistula is an abnormal communication between the small intestine and the skin. The development of the disease results in complexity due to neglected calcium cholecystitis though, it happens extremely rare in today’s surgical practice. As a result of improvements in diagnostic imaging, the bile duct diseases are being diagnosed early these days. The availability of effective and safe surgical treatment has made complications such as fistula extremely rare
