    What is the definition of Gastrointestinal Fistula?

    A gastrointestinal fistula is an abnormal opening in the stomach or intestines that allows the contents to leak to another part of the body.

    • Leaks that go through to a part of the intestines are called entero-enteral fistulas.
    • Leaks that go through to the skin are called enterocutaneous fistulas.
    • Other organs can be involved, such as the bladder, vagina, anus, and colon.
