can I ask if the fistula was connected to your pouch? that is my worry as the fistula I have is coming from the pouch therefore I am experiencing leakage etc and with the small hole I had previously now made bigger by my surgeon to clear the infection I fear it won't heal as constantly irrated. I have the seton still in place too and it has been giving me a lot of discomfort the past few days. Would love to hope this will improve in time as yours did.
