Successful Endoscopic Treatment of Refractory Postoperative Duodenocutaneous Fistula using Fibrin Sealant by Adam Dmitruk, Anna Pietrzak in Current Trends in Gastroenterology and Hepatology (CTGH) in Lupine Publishers

Iatrogenic, postoperative enteroatmospheric fistulas remain difficult to manage but common problem after gastrointestinal surgery. Surgical revision, after failure of conservative treatment is not only partially efficient but also carries a high mortality risk, mainly due to patients’ general condition and usually multiples comorbidities. Because of that alternative minimally invasive techniques are extensively studied, but unfortunately the data are still confounding [1,2]. We present a case of 38 – y.o. man with past history of nephrolithiasis, accidentally diagnosed with 30 mm gastrointestinal stromal tumour of the duodenum (Figures 1a-1c).
