Abstract
Gastrocutaneous fistula (GCF) is an abnormal connection in the skin layer and gastrointestinal lining. A GCF is a highly rare complication accounting for only 0.5%-3.9% cases having undergone gastric surgery [1]. These fistulas mostly occur after breakdown of a gastroenteric anastomosis, disruption of the gastric suture lines (commonly after bariatric surgery conventional surgery), iatrogenic gastric injury (particularly after splenectomy), or failure in healing of a gastrostomy tube tract [2]. Abstract
期刊介绍:
Computer Communication Review (CCR) is an online publication of the ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communication (SIGCOMM) and publishes articles on topics within the SIG''s field of interest. Technical papers accepted to CCR typically report on practical advances or the practical applications of theoretical advances. CCR serves as a forum for interesting and novel ideas at an early stage in their development. The focus is on timely dissemination of new ideas that may help trigger additional investigations. While the innovation and timeliness are the major criteria for its acceptance, technical robustness and readability will also be considered in the review process. We particularly encourage papers with early evaluation or feasibility studies.
