Case report illustrates gastrocutaneous fistula discovery in a patient requiring gastrostomy, highlighting interdisciplinary care.
We report a case detailing the discovery of a gastrocutaneous fistula (GCF) during an exploratory laparoscopy. The patient required percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement owing to mucositis after a glossectomy. Illustrative of the interdisciplinary treatment of disease, this case emphasizes the importance of collaboration between primary care practitioners and the medical subspecialties.
