Core Tip

Core Tip: Early enteral nutrition support is crucial in the management of enterocutaneous fistulas. The method of enteral nutrition (EN) support could vary for enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) patients with different anatomical fistula locations. This study reported a novel, safe and efficient method of establishing early EN administration for ECF patients with intestinal obstruction catheters in which treatment strategies were tailored for rapid rehabilitation.
