Glue Application in the Treatment of Low-Output Fistulas

Summary

Adjuvant use of fibrin glue (FG) in the fistula tract has been shown to promote closure of low-output enterocutaneous fistulas (ECFs). The primary objectives of this study are to compare the clinical efficacy, safety of autologous platelet-rich fibrin glue (PRFG), commercial fibrin glue, and control therapy in the management of patients with low-output volume ECFs.
