PERCUTANEOUS AND ENDOSCOPIC MANAGEMENT OF A POSTOPERATIVE FISTULA

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video describes the case of a 73-year-old male with cecal cancer and a concurrent renal cell carcinoma. After undergoing surgeries and developing complications such as devascularization, abscess, and drainage, different procedures were performed to manage the situation. These included inserting a Foley catheter, using percutaneous endoscopy to inspect the cavity, cauterizing the orifice and blind limb of the anastomosis, and placing an endoloop and hemostatic clips to close the fistula. Ultimately, the patient's drainage improved, and follow-up colonoscopies showed a reduction in the size of the fistula tract. The video highlights the management options for postoperative fistulas.
