| Core Tip |
Fecal diversion is performed for severe and uncontrolled anal fistula disease. Though usually done as a last resort, it significantly increases morbidity and cost. We speculated on whether fecal diversion is actually the last resort, is it effective and can it be avoided? A novel non-surgical protocol [LOOP: L: Liquid diet with no fiber; O: Oral rehydration salt; O: Oral vitamins and protein powder/supplements; P: Phosphate (sodium phosphate) enema] prevents contact of fecal matter with the anorectum and has been successfully utilized to treat several acute anorectal conditions. LOOP can potentially avoid the need to divert the fecal stream in many fistula cases where it would be deemed necessary. This would markedly decrease the morbidity and cost incurred due to fecal diversion. |
