Enterocutaneous Fistula From A Billroth II Afferent Limb: Successful Closure With Endoclips
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, indications for endoscopic clips have expanded to include closure of gastrointestinal fistulae and perforations. A 62-year-old man with remote history of surgery for peptic ulcer underwent right hemicolectomy for a large hepatic flexure mass with proximal colonic dilatation. During surgery, inadvertent pinpoint duodenotomy of the afferent Billroth II limb resulted in a duodeno-cutaneous fistula. Despite total parental nutrition, cutaneous bile drainage persisted. The duodenal fistula was closed during upper endoscopy using three endoclips. Cutaneous bile drainage stopped, and the abdominal wall defect healed. This is the first published case of endoclip closure of an iatrogenic duodenal fistula from a Billroth II afferent limb.

متن کاملVacuum assisted closure system in the management of enterocutaneous fistula.
BACKGROUND A very important yet often troublesome element in the conservative management of enterocutaneous fistulae is the protection of the surrounding skin from contact with the effluent. This report describes the successful use of a vacuum assisted closure (VAC) system in dealing with this problem. METHODS The results of using the VAC system were studied in three patients with moderate or...

Introduction Postoperative enterocutaneous fistulae could constitute a challenge when they occur following an abdominal surgery. Astute application of correct principles in its management is essential for good outcomes.

Enterocutaneous fistula is a challenging entity and a gold-standard treatment is not settled so far. Here, we describe the successful closure of a duodenocutaneous fistula with the use of the Biodesign enterocutaneous fistula plug (Cook Medical), which is derived from a biological plug that has been used in recent years in order to close anorectal fistula tracts.
