Core Tip	Small intestinal fistulas after drainage tube removal are rare, especially after sigmoid colon cancer radical surgery. Nonspecific symptoms often delay diagnosis. This case reports an 80-year-old man who developed such a fistula, successfully treated with surgical repair and supportive care, highlighting the need for awareness of this rare complication.
