Multidisciplinary management of a patient with vesicosigmoid fistula and multisystem diseases undergoing stoma reversal: a case report.
Article in BMC surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundVesicosigmoid fistula is a rare and complex pathological connection between the urinary and digestive systems, most often caused by calculi, diverticulitis, or malignancy. In elderly patients, surgical repair of the fistula and stoma reversal carry high risks, particularly when complicated by dysfunction of multiple organ systems such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys. This case aims to summarize the perioperative risk assessment and comprehensive management strategies for an elderly patient undergoing stoma reversal after vesicosigmoid fistula repair. CASE PRESENTATION: A 73-year-old man was admitted for planned reversal of ileal and bladder stomas four months after initial diversion surgery. His medical history included hypertension for 10 years. Preoperative evaluation revealed severe urinary tract infection, bilateral hydronephrosis, severe aortic valve stenosis, and emphysema. After multidisciplinary consultation and optimization of infection control and cardiopulmonary function, the patient underwent sigmoid colon resection, excision and repair of the bladder fistula, and bilateral ureteral stent placement. Postoperatively, transient infection exacerbation, hypoxemia, and elevated cardiac enzymes were observed. The patient improved after targeted antibiotic therapy, respiratory support, cardioprotective treatment, and nutritional intervention, and was discharged uneventfully.
conclusionThis case highlights that in elderly patients with complex stoma reversal, comprehensive preoperative multisystem risk assessment and multidisciplinary team (MDT) collaboration are essential. Intraoperative attention to adequate fistula excision and watertight repair, together with intensified postoperative monitoring and dynamic management of infection, respiratory, and cardiac status, can substantially improve clinical outcomes.
