Gastro-cutaneous fistula treated with trionic (cell alginate activate packing).

Gastrocutaneous fistulae are traditionally treated with to parenteral nutrition or surgical management. We are presenting a case of a 56-year-old man who underwent a surgical closure of a gastrocutaneous fistula with a trionic (cell alginate activate packing). The fistula recurred on postoperative day 14, after the Bilroth II operation.

Correlation of Procalcitonin and C-Reactive Protein with Intra-Abdominal Hypertension in Intra-Abdominal Infections: Their Predictive Role in the Progress of the Disease.

Aim: To analyse the correlation of procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) values with increased intra-abdominal pressure and to evaluate their predictive role in the progression of Intra-abdominal infections.

Materials And Methods: A non-randomized prospective study conducted in the group of 80 patients. We have measured the PCT, CRP and intra-abdominal pressure (IAP).

The Predictive Role of Procalcitonin On the Treatment of Intra-Abdominal Infections.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the algorithm of procalcitonin (PCT) and its role on the duration of antibiotics prescription for intra-abdominal infections.

Materials And Methods: This study is a prospective controlled study that is conducted in groups of 50 hospitalised patients and 50 controlled group patients.

Results: The results indicated that the average duration of antibiotic delivery to the PCT group was -10.
