Abstract

The treatment of small bowel fistulas remains a difficult problem. Spontaneous closure rates of 30% are currently being achieved after 4 to 6 weeks of conservative therapy with bowel rest, TPN, octreotide, and control of sepsis. Resection of the fistulous bowel is warranted if fistula closure has not occurred by 4 to 6 weeks.
