This study of 58 intestinal fistulae after 928 surgeries highlights the critical need for early detection and intervention. Conservative treatments and parenteral nutrition significantly improved outcomes for these complex surgical complications.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Abdominal Surgery

Context:

  • Intestinal fistulae are serious complications following abdominal surgery.
  • This study analyzed 58 cases of intestinal fistulae arising from 928 operations for small bowel diseases.
  • The majority of surgeries (81%) were for small bowel conditions, with 81% being emergencies.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of intestinal fistulae following small bowel surgery.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of different treatment modalities, including conservative and surgical approaches.
  • To identify factors influencing the prognosis of intestinal fistulae.

Summary:

  • 58 intestinal fistulae were identified in 928 operations (6.25%), primarily for small bowel obstruction, peritonitis, tumors, eviscerations, and infarction.

  • Jejunal fistulae occurred in 43.4% and ileal fistulae in 56.6%. Onset was often delayed, emphasizing wound exploration.
  • Treatment involved conservative and surgical methods; 39.6% underwent reoperation. Mortality was 29.4%.

    • Impact:

    • Parenteral nutrition and conservative management strategies represent key advancements in improving results and prognosis.
    • Highlights the importance of vigilant wound monitoring for early detection of fistulae.
    • Findings can inform surgical practice and patient management protocols for intestinal fistulae.
