- It highlights the ongoing care related to nutrition, skin management, and pouch options as her condition evolved and a stoma was created.
Article Abstract
Blockage of the mesenteric artery typically causes necrosis to the colon, requiring extensive surgical resection. In severe cases, the necrosis requires removal of the entire colon, creating numerous problems for the WOC nurse when pouching the opening created for effluent. This article describes the management of a draining duodenal fistula in a middle-aged woman, who survived surgery for a blocked mesenteric artery that necessitated the removal of the majority of the small and large intestine. Nutrition, skin management, and pouch options are described over a number of months as the fistula evolved and a stoma was created.

Introduction And Importance: Ascariasis lumbricoides is a common gastrointestinal tract helminthic disease in developing countries and is also a cause of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease in endemic areas of the world. Involvement of the pancreatic duct by worms and associated pancreatitis is less common than the hepatic and biliary involvement.
Case Presentation: A 38-year-old patient was admitted with a diagnosis of alcohol-induced acute pancreatitis and managed conservatively.
