Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and application significance of continuous irrigation and drainage for intestinal fistula combined with abdominal infection.Methods Clinical data of 62 patients with intestinafistula combined with abdominal infection admitted by Department of General Surgery of The 940th Hospital of The People’s Liberation Army Joint Service Support Force from March 2012 to March 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with continuous abdominal flushing and drainage after emergency surgery. The duration of peritoneal flushing, antibiotic use, blood picture recovery, fistula healing, and total hospitalization were summarized.Results All 62 patients were treated successfully without death or septic shock. Among them, 49 cases of intestinal fistula were treated with continuous abdominal flushing and drainage, and 13 cases of intestinal fistula were treated by continuous flushing and drainage of the abdominal cavity. There were 6 cases of abdominal abscess, 5 cases of incision infection, 5 cases of pleural effusion, and 2 cases of pulmonary infection after surgery. The continuous abdominal cavity washing time was (45±21) d, antibiotic use time was (14±7) d, blood image recovery time was (16±8) d, the healing time of fistula was (47±24) d, total length of hospital stay was (56±27) d.Conclusions For intestinal fistula combined with abdominal cavity infection, peritoneal continuous flushing and drainage is related with curative effect, high cure rate, fewer complications, simple washing equipment, simple technology, lower cost, and convenient nursing, which can create a good condition for the complexity or refractory patients with intestinal fistula, and has a high clinical application significance.
