Abstract:
Patients with ovarian cancer are prone to malignant bowel obstruction and often require surgical treatment, which could possibly lead to postoperative complications including enterocutaneous fistula. The treatment of enterocutaneous fistula requires phased and gradual approaches. Medical nutrition support is an important part of enterocutaneous fistula management, of which personalized strategies need to be developed based on factors such as the location of the intestinal fistula, fistula output, organ function, and nutritional status of patients. Here we report a case of nutritional therapy for a patient with recurrent ovarian cancer complicated with malignant bowel obstruction who developed a proximal enterocutaneous fistula after surgery. The relevant literature are reviewed, with the aim of informing nutritional therapy for enterocutaneous fistula.
