Intestinal Fistula

A fistula is an abnormal communication between two epithelial surfaces. An intestinal fistula is a fistula that connects the intestine to an adjacent organ or surface. Examples include enterocutaneous fistulas, which connect the intestine to the skin, and enterovesical fistulas, which connect the intestine to the bladder. Common causes of intestinal fistulas include surgical procedures, diverticular disease, inflammatory bowel disease, malignancy, radiation, and injury due to trauma or foreign bodies. This activity describes the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of intestinal fistulas and stresses the role of team-based interprofessional care for affected patients.
