Acquired enterocutaneous fistulas are a considerable problem of abdominal surgery. In most cases, they result from surgical intervention.

Critical evaluation of the data available from existing studies. The therapeutic regimen includes nutritional support, sepsis control, skin care, and, possibly, surgical treatment. Surgical interventions are considered in high-output small bowel fistulas. The treatment is continuous and requires a multidisciplinary approach.
