Enterocutaneous fistulas are a rare occurrence after placement of a PEG tube. The key risk factor for their development is the time the PEG tube is , giving time for the fistula tract to mature. Enterocutaneous fistulae are traditionally treated with parenteral nutrition or surgical management. We present a case of a 69-year-old woman who underwent surgical closure of an enterocutaneous fistula with a fibrin plug. The fistula recurred on post-operative Day 5, and the patient was placed on thickened fluids to increase the viscosity of the fluid exiting the fistula tract. This approach decreased the output and lead to subsequent closure of the fistula by outpatient follow up at 4 weeks. This case demonstrates an application of Poiseuille's law to closure of fistula tracts.
经皮内镜下胃造口术(PEG)置管后发生肠皮肤瘘的情况较为罕见。其发生的关键风险因素是PEG管留置的时间,这为瘘管通道成熟提供了时间。传统上,肠皮肤瘘采用肠外营养或手术治疗。我们报告一例69岁女性患者,该患者通过纤维蛋白封堵术对肠皮肤瘘进行了手术闭合。瘘管在术后第5天复发,患者接受了浓稠液体饮食,以增加从瘘管流出液体的黏稠度。这种方法减少了瘘液排出量,并在4周后的门诊随访中使瘘管随后闭合。本病例展示了泊肃叶定律在瘘管闭合中的应用。
