Hello,
My question is relating to gastrointestinal fistulas. My father recently had surgery for
Intestinal blockage. As it turned out parts where he underwent surgery were opening up
And were not healing up fast enough in the process he obtain an infection. The infection is
Slowly healing but his fistulas are not. Doctors have determined that they can not perform
Surgery again because my father is not healthy enough to go another surgery.
What would be my fathers best chance to heal. I understand that if he goes the way of
Allowing fistulas to heal on their own what is the amount of time he is looking at to be
In a hospital? Are there other drugs he can take that will dry up the wounds?
