We present a patient who was found to have a cholecystocolonic fistula during robotic cholecystectomy. The patient initially presented with Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and biliary obstruction. A delayed cholecystectomy was performed robotically after managing his Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and relief of his biliary obstruction with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Intraoperatively, a cholecystocolonic fistula, was found. This case report aims to highlight intraoperative management of the fistula and review the existing literature.

Intracholecystic papillary neoplasm and cholecystocolonic fistula are both relatively rare diseases. Here, we report a case of a preoperative intracholecystic papillary neoplasm associated with invasive carcinoma and a transverse colonic fistula of the gallbladder. A 79-year-old female patient presented to our hospital with persistent right upper quadrant pain for several months and was suspected to have intracholecystic papillary neoplasm associated with an invasive carcinoma by computed tomography and endoscopic ultrasound.

A cholecystocolonic fistula (CCF) is a rare cause of chronic diarrhoea. It most often occurs in elderly women as a result of chronic inflammation due to gallstone disease or, rarely, malignancy. Curative treatment consists of cholecystectomy with excision of the fistula tract, but it is often overlooked preoperatively and thus entails a higher risk of postoperative complications.
