Title: Extraperitoneal Approach for Closure of Epithelized Enterocutaneous Fistulas Following Late Removal of Jejunostomy Tube
Abstract: Epithelized enterocutaneous fistulas will form if feeding jejunostomy tubes are kept for a lengthy period. Such fistulas may not close spontaneously, and thus surgical closure will be necessary. An intraperitoneal surgical approach is most commonly used but is often difficult and a major undertaking. A novel, simple, and safe technique to close such enterocutaneous fistulas extraperitoneally under local anesthesia is devised.
