Chyme Reinfusion in Patients with High-Output Enterocutaneous Fistulas and Enterostomies Undergoing Surgical Reconstruction: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis

CR is a safe and easy-to-use method which leads to a significant reduction in inflammatory response and postoperative complications such as ileus or diarrhea and thus significantly shortens the hospital stay. This method should therefore be considered as an additional supportive procedure for patients with high-output ostomies or fistulas. The further legitimacy and justification of CR should now be verified in multi-center randomized studies.
