title: The closure of an abdominal fistula using self-polymerizing silicone rubbers--case study.
abstract: A case is described where an abdominal fistula was temporarily closed using a plug made from dental addition curing silicone rubber impression material. An effective seal was maintained using a stoma flange and a gentle pressure dressing; this still allowed normal gastric function.
