Abstract: | Between December 1989 and May 1998, we performed a modified method of in situ reconstruction on three of seven patients with graftenteric fistulas (GEFs) at the Kurume University Hospital. The modification involved performing an anastomosis of the infrarenal abdominal aorta and running a new prosthesis through the left side of the descending colon in the retroperitoneal cavity, and wrapping the proximal anastomosis and the proximal site of the prosthesis in the greater omentum. Good results were achieved in all three patients. We describe herein this modified method of in situ reconstruction for a GEF and summarize the case reports of these three patients.
