Patients with fistulae have often felt restricted in their ability to socialize and perform activities of daily living due to inadequate containment or restrictive systems. Fistulae containment options will be presented which allows patients the freedom to resume daily activities. Pouching techniques, devices, and the use of Negative Pressure Therapy in the management of fistulae will be discussed.
