Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech. 2001 Aug;11(4):277-8. doi: 10.1097/00129689-200108000-00010.

Abstract

We describe a patient with a cholecystogastric fistula treated by the laparoscopic approach. The use of intracorporeal suturing allows laparoscopic management of cholecystogastric fistulae without the need for an endoscopic transecting stapler.
