Abstract
Cholecystocolic fistula is a comparatively rare among internal biliary fistula. We report a case of cholecystocolic fistula enclosed by colonoscopic clipping. A 82-year-old man was admitted because of acute cholecystitis. PTGBD (Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage) was enforced. Afterwards, cholecystocolic fistula was turned out. But it was judged that the operation for the fistula was difficult because of cardiopulmonary defective function. Therefore, we tried colonoscopic enclosure by clip. As a result, the fistula had been improved. In general, the treatment of cholecystocolic fistula is surgical methods. It seems that treatment by colonoscopic enclosure with clip was effective, when operation is difficult.
