  • Title: [Post-nephrectomy duodeno-cutaneous fistula resolved with parenteral nutrition and octreotide (somatostatin analogue)].
    Author: Batista Miranda JE, Solé Balcells FJ, Peñalba F, Mayoral J.
    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 1994 Oct; 47(8):810-2. PubMed ID: 7818305.
    Abstract:
    After a right nephrectomy of ischemic kidney, a high-output duodenal fistula developed on the third postoperative day. Sixteen days of total parenteral nutrition were unsuccessful, so octreotide (a synthetic analogue of somatostatin) was added (0.1 mg subcutaneously every 8 hours). The output decreased progressively and the fistula closed completely 9 days thereafter.
