Abstract
Gastrocutaneous fistulas (GCF) following removal of gastrostomy tubes are an uncommon complication with many therapeutic options. It is a drawback that concerns both patient and surgeon, hindering the decision to perform an invasive treatment. Despite emerging minimally invasive procedures, we must not forget that surgery continues to be the standard treatment when they all fail.
