What Is an Enterocutaneous Fistula?
An enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) is an abnormal connection between the intestine and the skin, resulting in leakage of intestinal contents through an opening on the abdominal wall. It is a serious surgical condition associated with infection, fluid loss, malnutrition, and prolonged illness.
Enterocutaneous fistulas often occur after abdominal surgery, trauma, or severe infection and require specialized, staged surgical care.
Dr. Ankur Bhanushali has experience in managing complex enterocutaneous fistulas, from stabilization to definitive surgical correction.
