Abstract

We present a simple, yet effective, approach for surgically managing chronic gastrocutaneous fistulas. This procedure can be easily performed under local anaesthesia if needed. Our derived experience is largely based on gastrocutaneous fistulas, but we have also used this approach on small bowel fistulas.
