Abstract:

Right-sided sliding inguinal hernias usually involve the cecum and occasionally the ascending colon. Colocutaneous fistulas secondary to diverticular disease are rare and usually present with a short tract to the anterior abdominal wall. The authors describe a case of colocutaneous fistula secondary to diverticular disease in an inguinal hernia and review fistula formation after diverticular disease.
