I have had anal fistule and fissure and i made surgery with laser and it healed after around two months now my colon dr wrote to me linex probiotic because i have constipation. i afraid that the probiotic could return again the anal fistula ?

Probiotics are just seed colonies of germs that behave nicely inside the intestines. By their presence in the gut they can crowd out germs that make you gassy or cause other problems. There is no connection between probiotics and fistulas.
