Workup
The primary aim of a diagnostic workup is not to observe the fistular tract itself but to find the etiology of the disease so that an appropriate therapy can be initiated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Discussion The diagnosis of an enterovesical fistula poses a significant challenge as there is no consensus on any clear gold standard for EVf workup. [omicsonline.org]

The second phase of treatment will vary from patient to patient depending on the precise nature of the fistula. [cedars-sinai.edu]
