Filter by:Diverticular disease is a common condition in western countries with relatively uncommon complications[1]. Fistulae complicating diverticulitis are the result of a localized perforation into adjacent viscera, and occur in 4-23% of patients hospitalized for diverticular disease[2]. The types of fistulae include colovesical, colovaginal, colotubal, coloenteric, and colocutaneous fistulae[3]. Colocutaneous fistulae occur very rarely, accounting for 1-4% of the total number of fistulae complicating colonic diverticular disease[4]. Herein we describe a case of a fistula connecting the sigmoid colon with the left flank-lower lumbar area, due to diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon[5]. A new over-the-scope clip system, called OTSC (Ovesco Endoscopy, Tübingen, Germany), appeared on the market about 3 years ago[6]. The system consists of a nitinol clip loaded at the tip of the endoscope that can capture a large amount of tissue and compress the lesion until healed[7]. Results from animal models and initial clinical use support the efficacy of OTSC closure in the treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding; its role in the management of iatrogenic perforations in humans is less defined, and reports on its use in treating colorectal postsurgical leaks and fistulas are anecdotal [8]. Here we report on the use of OTSC in the endoscopic treatment of colo-cutaneous fistula as acomplication of acute diverticultis .
This study included patients who were admitted to investigators' center to do laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and complicated by gastro-cutaneous fistula . Cases were collected in the period from December 2019 to march 2021. The study was approved by the research and Ethics committee of investigators' University .a written informed consent was obtained from all participating patients after explaining to them all the study procedures with its benefits and hazards. the work has been carried out in accordance with the code of ethics of the world medical association ( Declaration of Helsinki ) for studies involving humans .the sample size was calculated using open Epi program using the following data ; confidence interval 95% , power of test 80% , ratio of unexposed/exposed 1, percent of patients with successful management of refractory gastro-cutaneous fistula by surgical intervention 50% and those with successful management by endoscopy 99% , odds ratio 99%, and risk ratio 2 , so the calculated sample size equal 30 patients divided into two equal groups. Group (1) included 15 patients managed by surgical intervention , group (2) included 15 patients managed by endoscopic intervention.
cyanoacrylate has an impact that may aid in the successful repair of urethra-cutaneous fistula (UCF) that occur after hypospadias surgical repair
The mean of this study is to compare primary and secondary closure of tracheo-cutaneous fistulas and evaluate the differences in outcomes between both techniques.
Pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) is the most commonly reported postoperative complication in total laryngectomy patients. PCF significantly increases morbidity, length of hospitalization, and cost of care, in addition to delaying the beginning of adjuvant therapy. The reported incidence of PCF ranges from 3% to 65%.The increased use of radiation in the primary management of laryngeal carcinoma has resulted in an increase in the PCF formation after salvage laryngectomy (STL). Previously reported risk factors for PCF development include preoperative radiotherapy, tumor stage, concomitant neck dissection, prior need for tracheotomy, hypoalbuminemia and anemia. Among surgical options, the pectoralis major myofascial flap has been proposed to cover the pharyngeal closure, to interpose non-irradiated tissue between the neopharynx and the skin during STL. Nonetheless, the efficacy of this approach is not fully established.Epidural anesthesia improves the blood supply due to its vasodilating effect. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of perioperative cervical epidural analgesia on the occurrence of pharyngocutaneous fistula following salvage laryngectomy and reconstruction with pectoralis major myocutaneous flap.
The purpose of this investigation is to carry out a clinical evaluation of a newly developed fistula pouching system's ability to function as a good pouch for fistulas, with the opening on the skin of the stomach or in a wound on the skin of the stomach.
