title: A technique for skin grafting around abdominal wall fistulas.
abstract: A simple method of grafting around draining abdominal wall fistulas is described. A Silastic sump drain stapled into a doughnut configuration is used. This produces a barrier around the fistula which drains the fluid off as it reaches the perforations of the sump drain.
