Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2015, Vol 54, Issue 1

Abstract

In this report, a case of enterocutaneous fistula was presented which was developed due to the compression of folding of the adhesion barrier mesh placed intraperitoneally. After removal of the mesh, fistula was excised and intestine was sutured primarily. The skin was sutured primarily without fascial closure. Eventration was developed as a result of skin necrosis. After surface of the intestine was covered by the granulation tissue, it was closed with autologous skin graft. The case was discussed about possible risk factors and treatment options in the light of pertinent literature
