[Morphologic and functional aspects in the treatment of patients with intestinal fistulas]
Abstract:
Combination of severe purulent processes (peritonitis, phlegmons, and extensive wounds of the abdominal wall), eventration, and complete high unformed intestinal fistulas leads to rapid hemostasis disorders and emaciation. In nonoperative treatment lethality reaches 70%. Complete bilateral disconnection of the fistula bearing intestinal loop is the operation of choice in such situations. In this case the length of the disconnected intestinal segments may be two thirds of the length of the jejunum and the greater part of the colon. The results of morphofunctional study of an intestinal segment disconnected for a long period are analysed. The tactics of active surgical treatment is illustrated by clinical cases.
