    Author: Büyükyavuz I, Karnak I, Yiğit S, Tanyel FC.
    Journal: Turk J Pediatr; 2004; 46(3):289-91. PubMed ID: 15503489.
    Abstract:
    A premature newborn with an enterocutaneous fistula after repair of duodenal perforation is reported to emphasize the therapeutic effect of octreotide in persistent fistula even in a very small infant. Our report showed that use of octreotide was safe even in premature infants with intestinal fistula. Close monitorization of biochemical and blood parameters is needed in patients treated with octreotide.
