%X Postoperative enterocutaneous fistula can occur after any gastrointestinal surgery. It is however uncommon following gynaecologic procedures. Although adjacent organ fistulae such as the rectovaginal and vesico-vaginal fistulae could be seen after hysterectomy, enterocutaneous fistulae are rarely encountered. We report a case of enterocutaneous fistula on twenty second post-operative day following total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salphingo-oopherectomywith partial omentectomy. The patient was managed conservatively which resulted in spontaneous closure of the fistula.   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jkmc.v2i4.11791 Journal of Kathmandu Medical College Vol. 2, No. 4, Issue 6, Oct.-Dec., 2013 Page : 205-207
