A member asked:
I got a fistulotomy 7 days ago. the doctor said it didn't involve sphincter muscle but the wound looks really deep. how long will this take to heal?

Ask your doctor: But usually about 2-3 weeks. Obviously it depends a lot on how big the actual wound is, but a healthy person typically heals pretty quickly. I am assuming you do not have a seton in place? For a definitive answer, ask the surgeon that did your operation! Good luck!
