A Simple, Inexpensive Method for Treatment of Iatrogenic Enterocutaneous Fistulas: The Value of Cyanoacrylate Glue

Enterocutaneous fistulas are not a minor problem in gastrointestinal tract surgery. Significant reductions of mortality and morbidity have been attained but they still remain high. We reported 16 clinical cases of iatrogenic enterocutaneous fistulas in which 14 were successfully treated by injecting cyanoacrylate glue into the fistulous tracts. We believe that the method we use may play a role in the management of iatrogenic enterocutaneous fistulas.
