This case report describes a 45-year-old man with a late-onset gastrojejunocolic fistula following a previous gastrojejunostomy, who was successfully treated with a single-stage surgical repair after intraoperative diagnosis.
The paper presents a case of a 45-year-old male with a 2-month history of foul-smelling vomiting and a 2-year history of intermittent chronic diarrhea, significant weight loss, and epigastric pain. He had a history of upper abdominal surgery 17 years prior. The surgical procedure involved excision of the gastric stoma and colonic fistula, resection of approximately 10 cm of jejunum, and restoration of bowel continuity with jejunojejunostomy and a new gastroenterostomy. The postoperative course was uneventful, and at a two-month follow-up, the patient had gained 5 kg and felt well.
