[External postoperative intestinal fistulae in appendicitis].
The author presents an analysis of the data obtained in 8500 patients operated upon for acute appendicitis, in 62 of them the postoperative period was complicated by intestinal fistula. It was found that the main causes of occurrence of intestinal fistulas are as follows: late terms of hospitalization and operative treatment of patients with acute appendicitis, some damage to the bowel due to inadequate access in appendectomy. The author advocates an earlier operative treatment for acute appendicitis and the use of a wide approach (transverse) in appendectomy.
