[Conservative treatment of complete distal pancreatic fistula].
36 patients with external pancreatic fistulas have been analysed. Complete distal fistulas have been demonstrated in 23 patients. Pancreatic fistulas were caused by trauma of the pancreas (8), acute pancreatitis (10), surgical treatment of the pancreatic cancer (5). The study of endocrine and exocrine functions has demonstrated that in 2-3 months a gradual decrease of exocrine function of the distal segment of the pancreas takes place. This segment is drained through the fistula. The processes of fibrosis and atrophia are major factors of such a decrease. The method of "biological" filling based on the results of the study of fistulas' pathogenesis, usage of a rational therapy and capillary drain appeared to be the most effective in treatment of this complication. It provided a gradual formation of a narrow fistula and its closure with granulations.
