Subsequent to fistulotomy recovery : is it infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the fustulotomy: Was done properly, very unlikely to be infected per se. The fistula is a chronic infection so the surgery should effectively drain the infection. Take warm tub soaks 3times per day and after a bowel movement to keep the wound clear.
