GASTROJEJUNOCOLIC fistula following gastrojejunostomy has long been considered one of the most serious complications of gastric surgery. Historically, the initial reports on the evolution and correction of the condition include the description by Wolfer of the first gastroenterostomy in 1881, the recognition by Braun of a gastrojejunal ulcer eight years later, the finding by Czerney1 of a fistula into the colon at the site of a previous gastroenterostomy in 1903, and the surgical intervention for the correction of the condition by de Herezel2 in 1905.The surgical problem is solved by removal of the fistula, restoration of bowel continuity and . . .Keywords
