Abstract:Extraperitoneal closure of gastrocutaneous fistula can be safe and effective. This approach can allow for rapid resumption of feeding and a shortened length of stay.
“…The surgery is usually difficult because of dense adhesions. Minimal access procedures have been tried especially in bariatric and paediatric patients [3,5,9]. Certain rare fistulas to thoracic structures require specialist surgical intervention.…”
Highlights
Late onset Gastrocutaneous fistulas are rare following the peptic perforation repair.
A non-healing burst abdominal wound should be thoroughly investigated. It can be because of an underlying fistula.
CT fistulogram is the investigation of choice to confirm the diagnosis.
Operative intervention is difficult but the only method of cure in most of the circumstances.

“…16,17 Recently, a technique using a Foley catheter to extraperitoneally close GCFs in children was described. 18 Further technological advancement and continued research will likely yield more effective materials and maneuvers for GCF closure.…”
“…Сведения о малых осложнениях гастростомии еще более скудны и представлены несколькими исследованиями, где обсуждаются образование грануляций вокруг гастростомической трубки и развитие контактного дерматита. Хотя количество малых осложнений по-прежнему остается достаточно высоким, при правильном уходе эти проблемы легко решаются [37,38].…”

“…В статистических данных R. Wraggetal [39] выявлено 14% неудач после чрескожной эндоскопическ ой гастростомии против 4% у лапароскопических больных. Аналогичные данные опубликованы у M. Zamakhshary [40]: 14% осложнений у PEGпациентов против 7,7% у лапароскопических больных [37,38].…”

“…Таким образом, большие осложнения у пациентов, подвергшихся лапароскопической гастростомии, встречаются крайне редко, что подтверждается имеющимися публикациями и демонстрирует относительную безопасность лапароскопических операций [37,38].…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
