ENTEROCUTANEOUS FISTULA – A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 27
Abstract
Enterocutaneous fistulas most commonly develop as a post operative complication of bowel surgery, though in 15% to 20% of cases fistulas occur spontaneously. Development is more frequent after emergency surgery when the patient preparation is poor or in the chronically debilitated, mal nourished patient. Here we report a case of enterocutaneous fistula involving both large bowel and small bowel developed as a post operative complication of adhesiolysis with resection and anastomosis of small bowel for acute intestinal obstruction
