Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To explore the method and efficacy of occlusion with medicinal albumin gel for esophageal fistula. METHODS:Over the recent 5 years,a total of 11 patients with esophagus -respiratory fistula or esophagus-neck fistula confirmed by iodine imaging and / or gastroscopy were occluded with medicinal albumin gel under endoscope. RESULTS:The occlusion with medicinal albumin gel for esophageal fistula was successful in all the 11 cases,and 9 out of 11 were completely healed after one time occlusion treatment and the other 2 cases were completely healed after the second occlusion treatment. The average hospital stay was 27 days and the average cost was 24,500 yuan. There was no recurrence after follow-up of 3 to 6 months,nor was there any adverse complication. CONCLUSION:Compared to the conventional conservative treatment,occlusion with medicinal albumin gel for esophageal fistula under endoscope can reduce the length of hospital stay and the cost of hospitalization.
