Complex treatment of a patient with multiple external intestinal fistulas after pancreatoduodenal resection

Abstract

The urgency of the problem of treatment of unformed external intestinal fistulas (UIE) is beyond doubt, since the overall mortality ranges from 2.8% to 34%, and postoperative mortality reaches 72%. The necessity of a complex therapy, the choice of elements of which is determined in each specific case, has been substantiated. An important component of this complex is measures to create and maintain hyperalimentation by combining various options of enteral and parenteral nutrition, which is the most acceptable in difficult economic conditions. Closure of large defects of the anterior abdominal wall seems to be no less important problem of NSCLC treatment and requires searching for new approaches in its solution.
