BACKGROUND: Use of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in patients with acute intestinal failure due to enteric fistulation might be avoided if a simpler means of nutritional support was available. The aim of this study was to determine whether feeding via an intestinal fistula (fistuloclysis) would obviate the need for TPN.
METHODS: Fistuloclysis was attempted in 12 patients with jejunocutaneous or ileocutaneous fistulas with mucocutaneous continuity. Feeding was achieved by inserting a gastrostomy feeding tube into the intestine distal to the fistula. Infusion of enteral feed was increased in a stepwise manner, without reinfusion of chyme, until predicted nutritional requirements could be met by a combination of fistuloclysis and regular diet, following which TPN was withdrawn. Energy requirements and nutritional status were assessed before starting fistuloclysis and at the time of reconstructive surgery.
RESULTS: Fistuloclysis replaced TPN entirely in 11 of 12 patients. Nutritional status was maintained for a median of 155 (range 19-422) days until reconstructive surgery could be safely undertaken in nine patients. Two patients who did not undergo surgery remained nutritionally stable over at least 9 months. TPN had to be recommenced in one patient. There were no complications associated with fistuloclysis.
CONCLUSION: Fistuloclysis appears to provide effective nutritional support in selected patients with enterocutaneous fistula.
