What is the duration of recovery post Anal Fistula Operation?-Dr. Prakash Mahadevappa

Post anal fistula operation, the recovery time depends on what is the type of fistula and what is the type of surgery we have done. If it is a simple low-lying fistula, which entails laying down or opening the tract, the recovery will be within probably 4 to 5 weeks. Patients however is discharged on the same day or the next day and needs to put in a pad around the anus for a couple of days and after that he can return to work. However the wound will take about 4 weeks to completely heal. This is when the surgery is a straightforward simple fistula surgery.
