Abstract:
Objective To study the method of promoting spontaneous closure of enterocutaneous fistula with fibrin sealant. Methods In twenty-seven patients with enterocutaneous fistula the selective fibrin sealant occlusion method was applied, and fistulagraphy was used to confirm closure. Results Fistula occlusion was attained within 2 weeks in 25 of the 27 patients, and there had been no sign of recurrence over a follow-up period of 1-15 months (average 5.6 months). Conclusion Selective fibrin sealant occlusion is highly effective for the closure enterocutaneous fistula.
