[Results of surgical rehabilitation of patients in the presence of external colonic fistula in conditions of district hospital].

Results of treatment of 102 patients for a variety of injuries and surgical diseases of the colon, who performed the intervention, culminating in the formation of the external colonic fistula (ECF) were analyzed. After reconstructive and restorative surgery for ECF, all patients were alive. Postoperative complications occurred in 15 (20.8%) patients, including intraabdominale--in 2 (2.8%). The optimal timing of surgical rehabilitation and volume reduction or reconstructive surgery in patients over the ECF should be determined strictly individual basis, taking into account the severity and nature of the illness or injury, which required imposition of an stoma, the severity of postoperative scar and local inflammatory processes in the abdominal cavity, in laparotomic wound and fistula. Performing simultaneous operations in the surgical rehabilitation of patients with ECF practically does not increase the risk of postoperative complications.
