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?

Has there been any mention of a stoma or fecal bag?

Eaten for months he is 65 years old and very

Weak.
