Can they do a fistulotomy on a fistula Thats still draining?
I only ask because my seton has fallen out and I've my follow up with crs in 5 wks or so when I was told I would have seton tightened or fistula laid open .
i showed crs to say seton had fallen out (it was supposed to be in Place 3mts till follow up but Fell after 4 wks )
From what I gather a fistulotomy is done for simple fistulas or ones that have stopped draining after seton if in low position and seton is used to clear infection or protect muscle .
If I needed a seton then surely I shouldve had it replaced asap or I'm just back to square one and another seton in 5 weeks and fistulotomy when that has done it's job .
I've tried asking nobody says a thing except don't worry it's normal and a common occurrence .
If anyone knows I'd appreciate it .
