Overview

Enteric fistula is a pathological communication between the small intestine and surrounding tissue. In case of communication with body surface it is called an enterocutaneous or enteroatmospheric fistula. There are many causes of enterocutaneous/enteroatmospheric fistula occurrence. A common result is malnutrition and organ dysfunction which leads to increased morbidity and mortality of the patients. Adequate nutritional support is a very important element in the management of patients with enterocutaneous/enteroatmospheric fistulas. One of the options of nutritional support is fistuloclysis which means administration of enteral nutrition formula to the distal fistula. We present the case of 76-year-old patient with a high-localized and high output enteroatmospheric fistula in whom we were able to reach adequate nutritional status using fistuloclysis, followed by closure of the fistula.

Keywords:

fistuloclysis – enteral fistula
