[Fistula construction in a late anastomotic leakage].

Ugeskrift for Laeger 2018 Februrary 27
Post-operative bowel perforation is often a consequence of an anastomotic leakage. In most cases of major anastomotic leakage with generalised peritonitis a stoma formation at the point of perforation is recommended. In some cases, however, stoma formation is not possible. In this case report an artificial fistula was made. The edge of the defect in the anastomosis was sutured to an incision in the iliac fossa to provide source control in a difficult case of anastomotic leakage. The abdominal cavity was found without faecal contamination on the fourth post-operative day.
