[Risk factors and evolution of enterocutaneous fistula after terminal ostomy takedown].

Background: End-ileostomy or colostomies are constructed for source control in patients with severe abdominal sepsis. After takedown, enterocutaneous fistula represents one of the most feared complications.

Methods: A prospective base was created with all patients that underwent, during a 90 month period, end-ileostomy or colostomy takedown after abdominal sepsis.
