The authors present their experience on surgical treatment of intestinal fistulas based on personal cases treated from 1981 to 1990. The cases are divided into two groups: the first: the first group of patients was treated only surgically (1981-1984); the second group was treated with surgery and artificial nutrition (1984-1990). The mortality rates are much lower in the second group. The conclusion is that is always necessary to associate a form of artificial nutrition to surgery because the percentage of healing is statistically higher.
