- Abstract
If an open abdominal patient develops enteric fistulae, the condition will be defined as enteroatmospheric fistulae (EAF). As it is not covered with tissue and does not have a fistula tract, it cannot be considered a real fistula. In total, 25% of open abdominal patients develop EAF and have a mortality rate of approximately 42%-75%. In this article, we present the case of a patient with EAF developing post sitoreductive surgery. As the recovery time of grade 4 open abdominal patients can be 6 months or longer, it was our aim to convert the fistula mouth to a stoma.
