Fistulotomy recovery : what is involved?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fistulotomy post-op: It depends on how extensive your fistulotomy is, but typically postoperative care includes stool softeners and sitz baths after bowel movements. Pain medicine is typically prescribed to be used the first couple of weeks as needed following the surgery. Some light spotting of blood on toilet paper is common.
