In this article, Helen Walker describes a complicated presentation, in which a complex fistulation process erupted onto the patient's abdominal skin. The author explains how using a team approach led to the successful management of the associated clinical symptoms. The management of such severe abdominal complications can be challenging to all and requires the input of many different health professionals. All team members' contributions are valuable, and together they ensure that all areas of care are identified. Therefore, a team approach contributes to a well-designed care pathway, specific to the individual.
