Abstract

Human fibrin sealant was used to accelerate the healing process in a total of 25 fistulas: 9 intestinal, 2 biliary, 1 vaginal, and 13 pancreatic. All patients received adequate nutritional support, and their secretions were reduced by pharmacological treatment. They underwent repeated X-ray check-ups to achieve a proper positioning of the drainages and to control the healing process. As soon as the fistulas showed a regular tract and a low outflow, they were treated with fibrin sealant. Quick and stable healing was obtained in 22 cases. In three patients we obtained only a reduction of secretions and lumen.
