Fistulas of the digestive apparatus are of accidental origin and of relatively small practical interest. In most cases they necessitate surgical and other treatment of too delicate a kind and too prolonged. Fig. 225.—Fistula of the rumen. a character to Justify the necessary expense. Their nature and origin sufficiently suggest the course to be adopted. These fistulfe are divisible into two varieties, gastric fistulge and intestinal fistulse. Gastric fistulae comprise fistulae of the rumen, reti- culum, and abomasum. They may be of external origin, but in the majority of cases they are produced by foreign objects accidentally swallowed and eliminated through the medium of an abscess of the abdominal walls. Their position and direction indicate their point of origin. (Fistulfe of the rumen appear on the left side of the reticulum, near the ensiform cartilage and middle line; those of the abomasum on the right side, near the middle line.)
