    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1983 Jul; 131(7):54-7. PubMed ID: 6623828.
    Abstract:
    Data on the treatment of incomplete intestinal fistulas in 86 patients are presented. In 34 patients the incomplete intestinal fistulas were formed on the duodenum after a resection of the stomach. Tampons were responsible for the formation of small intestine incomplete fistulas in 47 patients. The operative treatment was used in 10 of 86 patients with incomplete intestinal fistulas, better results being obtained in the patients operated upon within the first three days after the appearance of the fistula. In cases with incomplete small intestine fistulas 54 patients died of 76; with colonic fistulas 4 of 10 patients died.
