Enterocutaneous fistula is quite possibly the most genuine and conceivably destroying intricacies after extremist cystectomy, a perplexing activity with a huge bleakness rate. In this investigation we analyzed the possible advantage of biomaterial buttressing of staple lines in lessening the rate of enterocutaneous fistula in patients going through cystectomy.
Therefore this review reflectively audited 398 patients going through cystectomy for bladder malignancy during a roughly 11-year time span at the University of Colorado Hospital, and looked at the recurrence of enterocutaneous fistula when the execution of biomaterial buttressing for entrail anastomosis. Altogether, 301 careful cases went before biomaterial buttressing and 97 got buttressing with cow-like pericardial strips. Seven cases (2.3%) of enterocutaneous fistula happened without adjunctive support though zero cases were distinguished in the time frame utilizing buttressing with ox-like pericardial strips. In this manner buttressing was related with a nonsignificant decrease in the chances of enterocutaneous fistula. The total decrease in the frequency of enterocutaneous fistula and altogether diminished chances of useful gut hindrance in this companion warrant future examination to affirm the advantage of cow-like pericardial strip braces for inside anastomoses in cystectomy.
