Fistula Repair Operation

An anal fistula is defined as a small tunnel with an internal opening in the anal canal and an external opening in the skin near the anus.

I just did my fistulotomy 6 weeks ago today at Cleveland Clinic Florida. I’m nearly 100% now but I would say I didn’t feel any sort of improvement until around day 10. Maybe even a little longer. Anyone doing this surgery just get it over with. I lived with my fistula for 4 years. So glad this is all behind me now. Best of luck, everyone!

This video is excellent and I share with everyone who asks about my current condition. Had a fistula for 5 years now and going for a 12th surgery next week. There is not enough education or research about this disease. It’s not only physical pain but psychological pain for the patient as well knowing they will never heal from this. Because it will likely to return and never cure. 😖

Well explained, I just had my surgery last week and a seton was placed. The only issue I have is because I had J pouch surgery stool is watery which washes over the incision and burns like heck. But it’s better than having the abscess I had.

God knows how I even got this thing.

Amazing alternative. Seventeen years ago I walked away from having surgery for this horrid fistula condition. I was on the hospital bed ready to have the surgery but the surgeon had over booked. I was treated by an ex-surgeon practicing alternative therapies, acupuncture to stimulate my liver and a 3 month course of cordyceps mushrooms. It disappeared without trace and has not returned. I guess I was lucky. Good luck.

مفيد جدا و مختصر
لقد عملت جراحة المرحلة الثانية الناسور ..
حيث اخبرنى الطبيب بانى لابد من عمل الجراحة على مرحلتين .. الاولى تصحيح مسار الناسور حيث أن الناسور مرتفع مخترق العضلات .. و المرحلة الثانية هى اصلاح الناسور ..
بس عندى مشكلة هى حقيقى الجرح متحمله و لكن فتحة الشرج جاية بميل و أثناء التبرز يدخل بعض البراز الجرح😢 ..
الحمد لله كده بالضبط عدى ٦ ايام على إجراء العملية ..
دعواتكم بالشفاء

I had five surgery procedure in one year. Two weeks since the last one and I’m suffering with constipation but also some wet gases incontinence. the stiches inside the anal canal bleeds and brings a lot of a pain. last time I stayed 6 days in the hospital. I see doctors all the time talking about this desease as if is nothing complicated but they lie, it’s a hell.

I had 2 setons placed 2 months ago. I had no external opening but the fistula is about 6 cm long internally. The seton only goes through maybe 1 cm of the fistula. The sbcess and swelling is now back. I now have 2 setons and an abcess and full pain again, I don't think my doctr knows what he is doing. Ive seen 5 doctors, 3 hospital visits, endless appoinments, 1 MRI, Creams, Pills blah blah blah. This nightmare has destroyed my life for 2 years now, I'm completely broken. My last hope is to leave Canada and go to Thailand to the Bumrungrad Hospital, they seem fast, knowledable and efficient. I hope I can have my life back one day.
