Anal fistula laying open? |
A friend of mine is going in for surgery soon to have a fistula layed open. If Crohn's disease is not present, it still may be worthwhile to try a course of antibiotics. If these do not work, surgery is usually very effective. The surgeon opens the fistula channel so that healing occurs from the inside out. Most of the time, fistula surgery is done on an outpatient basis or with a short hospital stay. Following surgery, there may be mild to moderate discomfort for a few days, but patients usually have a short recovery period. "layed open " ? the surgery to repair an anal fissure is called LIS : lateral internal sphincterotomy. It should not be too painful afterwards and going to the bathroom should be okay too as long as he takes plenty of fibre and perhaps a stool softener. Things should be nicely healed within a month. Brian is right. No heavy lifting for a week. Now either you mean this question to be asked for yourself, or you are wa-a-a-a-y too close to your friend. |
