Current situation and prospect of diagnosis and treatment of intestinal fistula / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Intestinal fistula is one of the most common and serious complications of abdominal surgery and trauma. Once intestinal fistula occurs, it will produce pathological and physiological changes that are not directly related to the primary disease, leading to abdominal infection, bleeding, electrolyte imbalance, malnutrition, multiple organ dysfunction and other serious consequences, resulting in the increase of treatment difficulty, length of stay, cost of hospitalization and mortality. Therefore, it is very important to carry out prediction and early diagnosis in the early stage of intestinal fistula, and then implement comprehensive diagnosis and treatment strategy. This article mainly expounds the current situation of the diagnosis and treatment of intestinal fistula from its causes, clinical manifestations, diagnosis methods and treatment measures, and looks forward to the future treatment direction of intestinal fistula from the perspective of interdisciplinary and cross regional cooperation.
