A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check With Doctor: The surgeon (or a nurse in the office) should be able to answer this. Generally, the doctor will want to see you for follow-up after most any surgery anyway. The surgeon knows what s/he had to do to correct the fistula and can best judge how long it should be until full healing occurs.
