Gastrointestinal Stents Used To Close Fistula And Allow The Digestive System To Heal
GI stents can also be used to treat fistulas, which are abnormal connections between different parts of the digestive system. Fistulas can be caused by a variety of factors, including surgery, trauma, and disease. When a fistula occurs, it can cause pain, infection, and other complications. Gastrointestinal Stents can be used to close off the fistula and allow the digestive system to heal. Another use of GI stents is to treat bleeding in the digestive system. When a patient experiences GI bleeding, it can be difficult to locate the source of the bleeding.
Gastrointestinal Stents can be used to stop the bleeding by compressing the blood vessels in the affected area. These obstructions can be caused by a variety of factors, including tumors, scar tissue, inflammation, and strictures. When a blockage occurs, food and fluids are unable to pass through the digestive system, leading to pain, nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms. GI stents are used to relieve these symptoms by opening up the blockage and allowing food and fluids to pass through.
