Gastrointestinal Fistula Repair is a surgical procedure designed to close abnormal connections (fistulas) that form between the gastrointestinal tract and other organs or tissues. These fistulas can occur due to surgery, trauma, infections, or inflammatory bowel disease.

The surgery involves identifying the fistula tract and removing any diseased or damaged tissue. The fistula is then sealed using sutures, or in some cases, a stent may be placed to keep the area open during healing.

Postoperative care includes wound care, managing infections, and monitoring for signs of recurrence. Nutritional support is also important, especially if the fistula is associated with malabsorption or digestive issues.

Gastrointestinal fistula repair is an important intervention for preventing further complications and improving the patient's ability to eat and digest food properly.
