I have permission to ask the following: "Can you see if anyone has some information on treatment of a milk fistula? One of the surgeons called me about a mom who just had a 6-8cm abscess removed, and now has a milk fistula. Baby is 1 month old, and the concern is the constant drainage and mess associated with the fistula. They are now packing and changing dressing all the time. He would like to try a new dressing called a vac. dressing, that places a tube in the fistula, that is attached to a sponge to help with secretions and drainage. This vac dressing may also drain milk if the fistula is constantly moist with milk. Can you get me any information???" I searched the archives, but didn't find anything recent. Any suggestions?
