The treatment of intestinal fistulas is one of the most difficult tasks for the practical surgeon. It is known how much the sick with this disease are burdened by their suffering. The constant uncontrollable discharge of discharge from the intestinal fistula, often with a fecal odor, poisons the atmosphere around the patient and makes his existence painful both for himself and for those around him. This is reflected in the mental state of patients; depression of the psyche, general discontent and severe hypochondria appears. The physical condition of patients with intestinal fistula is upset differently depending on the level of the intestine, on which the fistula is located, on the nature of the fistula and the amount of discharge. Due to severe disorders, patients agree to any operation that is offered to them.
