A member asked:
I have a bowel +bladder fistula, would an operation be need for this , and if surgery, is it keyhole or open surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
These fistulas : Are amongst the most difficult to treat and very rarely respond to medical therapy (that is, if you have Crohn's disease). It almost always requires surgery, and the surgical repair can be difficult and is not always successful. I'd recommend seeing an accomplished surgeon with this kind of experience.
