Abstract
Octreotide is an analog of the polypeptide hormone somatostatin, which can reduce gastrointestinal, biliary and pancreas secretion, as well as
decrease gastrointestinal motility. Octreotide in combination with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) has proven to be effective therapy in patients with high-output enterocutaneous fistula (EF).
