Maria, my son has had the same thing for the last 2 years.  In January 2014 they discovered it.  Put in a drain, but him on TPN for 8'weeks.  Didn't work.  In March of 15 he went back to an Ostomy.  Shortly after that, he was diagnosed wi PSC so we had to change doctors.  We moved over to Weill Cornell in NYC.  New surgeon. He did lots of studies to see if the fistulia and abscess were going away.  He did another drain.  They did so much last summer.  In the end, by November it appeared to have gone away.  Did another takedown. In January 2016.  Well the darn abscess and fistulia are back.  In the exact same place.  Currently, my son has a drain in,Mia's been in since April I think, I don't remember.  The leak is has is so tiny they can't fix it without causing more problems.  So now we are thinking outside a box.  Last week he some studies done to be perhaps be fitted with a plug.  Like I said the leak is the size of the of a pin hole.  These things are extremely tricky and difficult to manage.  PM me if you want more details.  This entire situation has been extremely hard for my son.  He is sick of people poking at him.  You asked about the glue.  They did insert some about a month ago.  It generally doesn't work.  However, it seems to be working a bit.  There is less leakage coming out so perhaps it is working,  but to be honest, most fixes do not work for the long haul.

Hi Jeffsmom,

Thank you so much for your reply.  I'm so sorry to hear his fistula and abscess are back after all he has gone through. There are no easy answers for us are there?  I guess I will have to go ahead with the stoma and hope that the fistula closes and doesn't recur. I'm not sure what else to do.

Thanks,

Maria

Maria, I don't know where you are being treated but I believe going back to the stoma is the best bet.  And give it at least 9 months to a year.  Do they know where your leak is?  That was part of our problem.  They knew it was there, but did t know where.  Turned out it was in the back of the small intestine at the sticking line.   Asamatosis?  That means the connection.  It was difficult to locate, took a long time.  I don't remember all the tests that were done..  But there were a lot.  Good luck, I understand how difficult this is.  And, no it's not easy.  If it's not one thing, it's another!
