Experience in fibrin glue application for the treatment of non-formed fistulas of the gastrointestinal tract

摘要

Fibrin glue was used for conservative closure of non-formed fistulas of the gastrointestinal tract in 38 patients. The variant of fibrin glue produced with cryoprecipitation (concentration of coagulant protein not less than 60 g/l) was applied as reparation stimulator. Fibrin glue has been used for closure of 8 duodenal and 4 gastric fistulas with chime loss to 1.5 l per day. Surgeries for palliative arrest of the intestinal loop with a fistula and classical obturators were not performed. The fistulas have been closed in 36 patients, 3 patients died (only 1 of them due to fistula). Fibrin glue reduced surgical aggression and improved treatment results in critically ill patients.
