[Rehabilitation of children with external intestinal fistula]
Insights
This study details the treatment of 153 children with external intestinal fistulas, focusing on the magneto-++-compressive inter-intestinal++ anastomosis (MCIA) technique. The MCIA method proved effective and safe for managing these complex pediatric cases.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Gastrointestinal Surgery
Background:
- External intestinal fistulas present a significant challenge in pediatric surgical care.
- Treatment strategies vary based on fistula etiology and characteristics, requiring individualized approaches.
Observation:
- A cohort of 153 children with external intestinal fistulas was analyzed.
- Fistulas arose from intra-abdominal pyodestructive processes (6 cases) or were surgically created (147 cases).
Findings:
- The magneto-++-compressive inter-intestinal++ anastomosis (MCIA) was employed for fistula exclusion.
- Intraoperative MCIA formation was successfully performed in 21 children, even with peritonitis, showing no complications.
- A novel operative method for gun-barrel enterostomy closure preserved the MCIA.
Implications:
- The MCIA technique offers a safe and effective solution for pediatric external intestinal fistulas.
- This approach may simplify management and improve outcomes in complex enterostomy cases.
- Further research can explore long-term efficacy and broader applications of MCIA in pediatric GI surgery.
Abstract:
Experience in the treatment of 153 children with external intestinal fistulas is discussed. In 6 children the intestinal fistulas occurred as the result of a pyodestructive process in the abdominal cavity, in 147 children they were formed for therapeutic purposes. The choice of the method of treatment is individual and is determined by the character of the fistula. A magneto-++-compressive inter-intestinal++ anastomosis (MCIA) was formed for exclusion of the intestinal fistulas. Under conditions of peritonitis in gun-barrel enterostomy intraoperative formation of the MCIA can be undertaken. The method was applied in 21 children, no complications occurred. In closure of gun-barrel enterostomy an operative method was elaborated with preservation of the greater part of the magneto-++-compressive anastomosis.
