The loss of digestive juice, water-electrolyte imbalance and malnutrition are intractable issues during management of ECF. Techniques such as "fistula patch" and vacuumassisted closure therapy have been applied to prevent contamination of open abdominal wounds by intestinal fistula drainage. However, failures are encountered due to high-output fistula and anatomical complexity. Here, we report 3 D-printed patient-personalized fistula stent for ECF treatment based on 3 D reconstruction of the fistula image. Subsequent follow-up demonstrated that this stent was well-implanted and effective to reduce the volume of enteric fistula effluent.展开更多

In the meantime, OA calls for a mass of nursing and the subsequent enteroatomospheric fistula(EAF), which is one of the most common complications of OA therapy, remains a thorny challenge.CASE SUMMARY Our team applied thermoplastic polyurethane as a befitting material for producing a 3 D-printed "fistula stent" in the management of an EAF patient,who was initially admitted to local hospital because of abdominal pain and distension and diagnosed with bowel obstruction. After a series of operations and OA therapy, the patient developed an EAF.CONCLUSION Application of this novel "fistula stent" resulted in a drastic reduction in the amount of lost enteric effluent and greatly accelerated rehabilitation processes.展开更多
