Thanks for your reply. This is terrifying to me due to incontinence concerns.
I'm 4 months out from a still unhealed fissurectomy (w/advancement flaps) after which I have had a leaky bum ever since. My sphincter was not touched during that surgery, which was why I chose it, and yet I'm still having issues, supposedly temporary but I do not see that as a guarantee.
Everywhere I read, incontinence risk factors for fistulotomy include previous anal surgery (check) and previous continence issues (currently, check). So... The doctors don't seem concerned but I sure am.
