title: The ring fixation of T tubes.
abstract: By using a rubber ring for the attachment of the T tube to the abdominal wall, a secure approximation can be achieved. Slippage of the tube, which occurs when the T tube is tied directly with the suture material, can be eliminated. Stricture of the T tube can also be prevented. We have found this method to be successful and accidental dislodgement has not occurred.
