ABSTRACT

Abstract The care of patients with enterocutaneous fistula constitutes a significant challenge owing to the alterations it usually brings about. For successful treatment, it is necessary to manage fluids and electrolytes adequately, provide practical nutritional support, and control sepsis until its eradication; thus, many fistulae close spontaneously. We present the case of a 36-year-old male patient with a four-month history of fecal-like umbilical secretion. When performing the fistulogram, we confirmed a fistulous tract of 9 cm, which ended at the level of the sigmoid colon, a rare location. In cases where the enterocutaneous fistula does not close, and surgical treatment is indicated, it is imperative to maximize perioperative care, decrease surgical time, choose the correct surgical technique, and prepare the patient for surgery to avoid complications with a fatal outcome.


Resumen La atención de los pacientes con fístula enterocutánea constituye un gran reto, por las alteraciones con las que suelen acompañarse. Para lograr un tratamiento exitoso es necesario realizar un adecuado manejo de los líquidos y electrolitos, brindar un apoyo nutricional eficaz y controlar la sepsis hasta lograr su erradicación; de esta manera, muchas fístulas cierran espontáneamente. Se expone el caso de un paciente de 36 años de edad, con un cuadro de secreción umbilical de aspecto fecaloideo de 4 meses de evolución. Al realizar la fistulografía se constató un trayecto fistuloso de 9 cm, el cual terminaba a nivel del colon sigmoide, localización poco frecuente. En los casos en que la fístula enterocutánea no cierre y tenga indicación de tratamiento quirúrgico, es necesario extremar los cuidados perioperatorios, minimizar el tiempo quirúrgico, elegir la técnica quirúrgica correcta y preparar al paciente para la cirugía, de modo que se eviten complicaciones que pueden tener un desenlace fatal.

ABSTRACT

We presented two interesting cases of gastrocolocutaneous fistula that occurred after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement, and its management. This fistula is a rare complication that occurs after PEG insertion, which is an epithelial connection between mucosa of the stomach, colon, and skin. The management of the fistula is controversial, ranging from conservative to surgical intervention. Endoscopists should be aware of the possibility of gastrocolocutaneous fistula after PEG insertion, and should evaluate the risk factors that may contribute to the development of gastrocolocutaneous fistula before the procedure. We reviewed complications of gastrostomy tube insertion, symptoms of gastrocolocutaneous fistula, and its risk factors.

ABSTRACT

Gastrointestinal cutaneous fistula G.I.C.F. occur either postoperative or spontaneous, it is a major complication to patients and surgeons together, still have significant incidence of morbidity and mortality. and it needs specific management. To study the causes of the fistula, to study the methods of treatment either medical or surgical with or without the use of total parenteral nutrition T.P.N. A prospective study done on 61 patients, divided into male and female, patients:, G.I.C.F. were divided into high output and low output fistulae, then an attempt to find the causes of the fistulae and the type of treatment both conservative and surgical treatment, also to study the effect of the use of T.P.N. 45 patients were male and 16 were female. Age range 13-58 years. The most common cause of the fistula was missile injury 39 [63.93%] patients, followed by iatrogenic 6 [9.83%] then carcinoma of colon 6 [9.83%]. 59 [96.72%] patients developed fistula postoperative, and only 2 [3.27%] patients developed the fistula spontaneous. The most common site of the fistula was the ileum 22 [30.06%] patients; the least common site was the esophagus 2 [3.27%]. 32 [52.45%] patients were with high output fistula. 29 [47.54%] patients were with low output fistula. Spontaneous closure rate was 57.37%, total number of patients treated by conservative methods were39, while the total number of patients treated by surgery were 22. 89.74% closure rate by conservative treatment, closure rate by surgical treatment were 63.63%. The mortality rate was 12 [19.67%] patients. Spontaneous closure rate of the fistula is high, the conservative treatment gave higher closure rate than the surgical treatment. The use of T.P.N. and octreotide decrease the morbidity and mortality

ABSTRACT

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for uncomplicated gallstone disease. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy may result in lost (spilled) gallstones. Such stones may precipitate various infective intra-abdominal complications. An unusual case of spilled gallstones eroding the diaphragm and eventually being expectorated out 12 months after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is reported.

ABSTRACT

External duodenal fistulae from sutured duodenal ulcer perforation sites are difficult to manage and most patients succumb to septicemia and undernutrition. This is due to failure of closure of the perforation site in the duodenum. Most techniques described in the past to facilitate closure have failed to give satisfactory results. We have devised a new procedure where the duodenal ulcer perforation is closed by mobilizing the gall bladder. A hole is made in the fundus of the gall bladder and it is anastomosed to the freshened edges of the duodenal opening. We have treated six patients by this technique. In five patients the leak was satisfactorily sealed. Three patients died - one due to persistent leak and two due to jejunostomy leak.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Leaking abdominal wounds (LAW) are associated with high patient morbidity. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of a self-adhesive drape (Opsite) with suction drains for the management of LAW. METHODS: Twenty patients with LAW (14 intestinal fistula, 4 biliary fistula, 2 ascites leak) were subjected to the use of a self-adhesive drape with a Romovac suction drain. Conventional wound management was used for the first 5 days, followed by the application of Opsite drape. The parameters evaluated were quantity of the effluent, skin integrity, ease of application, patient comfort and cost effectiveness. A discomfort score (based on four parameters: mobility, skin excoriation, wetness and unpleasant odor) was recorded on day 1 (pre conventional), day 5 (post conventional-pre Opsite), and day 5 after Opsite application. Opsite drape was changed whenever required. RESULTS: The discomfort score was not altered with conventional therapy but was lower following Opsite application: mobility (0 vs 2), skin excoriation (0 vs 2), wetness (0.5 vs 2) and odor (0 vs 1). Opsite drape allowed accurate measurement of the effluent in all patients. The drape required change after a median of 14 days (range 10 to 18). CONCLUSIONS: Opsite drape is easy to apply on LAW, is effective in containing the effluent, and is associated with low patient morbidity.

ABSTRACT

Os ferimentos penetrantes localizados na transição toracoabdominal (FTA), além da dificuldade diagnóstica, merecem especial atenção em relação à conduta adotada para o controle das complicações abdominais. Os autores analisaram 110 pacientes atendidos na Disciplina de Cirurgia do Trauma do Departamento de Cirurgia da UNICAMP, de 1988 a 1998, apresentando ferida penetrante toracoabdominal e submetidos à laparotomia exploradora com drenagem pleural fechada. As fístulas digestivas foram estudadas quanto à incidência, ao tratamento e à evolução pós-operatória. Do total de pacientes, 91 (82,7 por cento) eram do sexo masculino e 19 (17,3 por cento) do sexo feminino. A faixa etária situou-se entre 13 e 63 anos. Os FTA foram causados por projétil de arma de fogo (PAF) em 60 (54,5 por cento) casos e por arma branca (FAB) em 50 (45,5 por cento). As fístulas digestivas ocorreram em seis (5,4 por cento) dos pacientes estudados, sendo quatro (3,6 por cento) casos de fístula pancreática, um (0,9 por cento) de fístula gástrica e um (0,9 por cento) de fístula biliar, todos tratados de maneira conservadora, apresentando evolução favorável com resolução espontânea

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: La casuística mundial publicada al respecto es escasa por lo que se infiere que su incidencia de presentación no es significativa o que existe un desconocimiento de la existencia de esta complicación. Objetivo: Destacar los aspectos clínicos y jerarquizar el valor de los estudios complementarios. Lugar de aplicación: Hospital público e institución privada. Diseño: Estudio retrospectivo. Método: Se presentan 3 casos detectados en los dos últimos años. Resultados: Se realizó la oclusión quirúrgica de las fístulas en los 3 casos, con buenos resultados. Conclusión: Es una patología insuficientemente detectada en la mayoría de las series de resección del esófago, por lo que enfatizamos su reconocimiento

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: Después de la resección pancreaticoduodenal la fístula pancreática es una temida complicación, con una mortalidad estimada del 10 al 20 por ciento de los casos. Objetivo: Intentar reducir la frecuencia y la severidad de la fístula anastomótica postoperatoria luego de la pancreatoyeyunoanastomosis (PYA) en pacientes con dduodenopancreatectomía cefálica (DPC). Resumen: La pancreatogastroanastomosis (PGA) se realizó como una reconstrucción alternativa luego de DPC. Desde 1991 a 1997 hemos realizado 15 DPC. En 9 pacientes empleamos la PGA y en 6 la PYA. La mortalidad fue del 0 por ciento. Pero la morbilidad alcanzó el 56 por ciento. La fístula pancreática estuvo presente en el 13 por ciento del grupo de PYA y 0 por ciento en PGA. Conclusión: Estos resultados confirman que la PGA es un seguro método de reconstrucción luego de la DPC

ABSTRACT

Las fístulas digestivas constituyen cuadros clínicos de relativa frecuencia en la práctica quirúrgica. Tienen elevada morbi mortalidad; provocan angustia y cambios en la calidad de vida de los pacientes y preocupaciones en los cirujanos. Entre las fístulas digestivas, las hay de todos los segmentos(esofágicas, gastroduodenales, pancreáticas, biliares, intestinales y colónicas). En cuanto a sus causas las más frecuentes son postoperatorias. En esta revisión se presentan las clasificaciones de estas complicaciones mïas aceptadas en la actualidad. También se abordan los diversos eventos fisiopatplógicvos que tienen lugar en los diferntes tipos de fístulas digestivas así como las alernativas terapéuticas actualmente disponibles

ABSTRACT

A fin de evaluar los hallazgos de la tomografía computada en 5 pacientes con fístulas biliodigestivas espontáneas (FBDE) y determinar la incidencia relativa de cada uno de los signos tomográficos, se revisan 1.987 TC de abdomen realizadas en nuestro Servicio entre enero de 1997 y mayo de 1998, que arrojaron 5 casos de FBDE (0,25 por ciento), 4 mujeres y un varón, con una edad promedio fue 72,6 años. Todos los enfermos mostraban signos de obstrucción intestinal de grado variable. Los 5 casos fueron confirmados. El único hallazgo constante y que permitió realizar el diagnóstico de FBDE fue la presencia de litos intraluminales

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar fatores prognósticos nas fístulas digestivas, mediante o desenvolvimento de modelo multivariado. Foi investigada, inicialmente, a influência de diversas variáveis sobre o fechamento espontâneo cirúrgico e sobre o óbito de pacientes com fístulas digestivas. Para tanto, foram analisados os dados, coletados prospectivamente, de 188 pacientes portadores de fístulas digestivas, tratados de 1984 a 1994. A idade média dos pacientes foi de 44,9 +- 1,1 anos. A maioria dos pacientes foi do sexo masculino (62,2 por cento). A distribuiçäo, de acordo com a origem, foi: duodenal, 22,3 por cento: jejunoileal, 28,7 por cento; colônica, 23,9 por cento; e biliopancreática, 24,9 por cento. A maioria das fístulas foi pós-operatória (90,42 por cento). O tempo médio entre o fator causal e o aparecimento da fístula foi de 7,5 +-0,9 dias. O câncer esteve presente em 28,7 por cento dos pacientes. A albumina inicial média foi de 2,5+-0,1 g/dl, e a transferrina inicial média foi de 192,6+-5,7 mg/dl. Em 47,3 por cento dos casos, os pacientes foram encaminhados já com a fístula. Metade das fístulas foi de alto débito (>500 ml/dia) e metade de baixo débito (<500ml/dia). O tratamento consistiu em cuidados gerais, em suporte nutricional e cirurgia, classificada em auxiliar ou definitiva. Foram realizadas 165 operaçöes nos 188 doentes. Um total de 50,5 por cento dos pacientes näo apresentou complicaçöes. Complicaçöes infecciosas ocorreram em 28,2 por cento dos casos, näo infecciosas em 10,1 por cento dos pacientes e relacionadas ao suporte nutricional em 11,2 por cento dos casos. A maioria dos pacientes (66,5 por cento) recebeu nutriçäo parenteral. Nutriçäo enteral foi utilizada em 6,4 por cento e 13 pacientes (6,9 por cento) receberam nutriçäo parenteral e nutriçäo enteral. Os demais pacientes (20,2 por cento) receberam dieta por via oral. A duraçäo média do suporte nutricional foi de 26,1+-1,5 dias. A mortalidade geral foi de 30,85 por cento. Em 31,3 por cento dos casos foi obtido fechamento espontâneo, e em 37,8 por cento dos casos o fechamento foi cirúrgico. Concluiu-se que com a aplicaçäo dos modelos multivariados desenvolvidos, é possível estimar-se a probabilidade de fechamento espontäneo, de fechamento cirúrgico e de óbito em pacientes portadores de fístulas digestivas
