title: Fistula fiberscope-assisted percutaneous glue sealing for enterocutaneous fistulas: a case report.
abstract: Endoscopic therapy is a valuable option for glue sealing in fistula patients with low-output volume to enable more complete filling of internal openings. However, no special endoscopes were designed and made for fistula tracts. This brief report concerns about the application of an autologous platelet-rich fibrin sealant through a refined fistula fiberscope. Symptoms achieved resolutions and the follow-up computed tomography scans revealed no intestinal fluid leakage. To our knowledge, this is the first report on this percutaneous endoscope-assisted glue procedure.
