Instructed patient Enterocutaneous fistulas (ECFs) can cause contents of the intestines or stomach to leak through a wound or opening in the skin. It also can cause: Dehydration, Diarrhea, and Malnutrition. Adequate protein and calories must be provided to maximize healing and minimize complications.
Instructed patient classic barriers to spontaneous closure include distal obstruction, mucocutaneous continuity (ie, a short or epithelialized tract), and infection or malignancy in the tract. Comprehensive and effective management of the patient with fistula requires attention to fluid and electrolyte replacement, per fistula, skin, protection, infection control.
Instructed patient through the use of negative pressure wound therapy, a standard surgical drain, and optimized nutrition, fistula drainage was redirected and the abdominal wound healed, leaving a drain controlled enterocutaneous fistula. Patient control of fistula drainage and protection of surrounding tissue and skin is a principle of early fistula management.

They are accompanied by other symptoms, including: abdominal pain, painful bowel obstruction, fever, elevated white blood cell count.
