Reply to "fistula"

I will caution you against letting them to a traditional “lay open” fistulectomy. They did that to me and it left me incontinent. I’ve since had a spinster repair, use thicken meds and a cotton ball tucked up there and have a spinal chord stimulator. I do ok with it (still love my life and deal with occasional accidents). Docs who did my repair said the traditional lay open surgery should never have been performed on someone with a pouch. Humira or a seton are various options to treat a fistula other than surgery. Best of luck!
