Surgical management of high output enterocutaneous fistulae: a 24-year experience

Abstract: Sepsis, in all its forms, is an important cause of morbidity and mortality and requires aggressive treatment. Definitive surgical closure of the fistula should only be performed when the patient is apyrexial and in good nutritional status, and if the fistula effluent shows no signs of decreasing in volume after 4-6 weeks of nutritional support. All reviews of patients with enterocutaneous fistulae reveal that the best results with the least morbidity are obtained by definitive resection and end-to-end anastomo… Show more
