Successful fibrin seal closure of a contaminated fistula. Case report.
In a 43-year-old woman, a large, contaminated fistula, initially with vesicointestinal communication, was successfully closed by application of fibrin seal. The course of three sealing attempts indicated that local pretreatment with antibiotics may have been important for the final result. At 4-year follow-up examination there was no recurrence of the fistula.
