This article provides an overview of the pathophysiology, causes, investigations,
and management of high-output enterostomy and enterocutaneous fistula.
High-output stoma and enterocutaneous fistula can result in intestinal failure
and this is often fatal if not managed properly. The management involves reducing
fluid losses, providing nutrients with fluids, and treating the underlying cause
and sepsis. A multidisciplinary approach is required for successful management of
patients with high-output enterostomy and enterocutaneous fistula.
