TODO - Key Clinical Message
Patients with postradiation therapy for malignancies and/or extensive
colorectal surgery are prone to the development of enteroperineal
fistulas. Application of biological meshes may prove beneficial in
treating complicated enteroperineal fistulas as they provide a stable
ground for closing pelvic defects even in contaminated fields.
