I am looking for a surgeon in the Chicago, IL area who specializes in intestinal fistulas.
My husband had surgery for a bowel blockage and still has a large belly wound as a result. He is currently on a KCI wound vac with two drains to try to keep the area dry. The recent attempt at a skin graft failed due to the inability to keep the fistula drainage off the skin graft.
