Abstract

Frequently, intestinal fistulas present difficult diagnostic and surgical problems, yet they should not be considered insurmountable. In our experience, covering a series of 328 patients, the mortality rate was 3.9 per cent (Table 1). However, we must acknowledge that in many instances morbidity was protracted.
