I was recently diagnosed with an intersphincteric fistula tract and have surgery scheduled for next Friday. I'm a bit nervous and wondering what type of anesthesia is usually given during a fistulectomy procedure
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Spinal anaesthesia will be given during surgery. You will feel a small pin-prick in your back. The surgery will take 20-30 minutes only. Don't worry!

It's possible the right-side abdominal pain you're experiencing 5 months after your laparoscopic appendectomy could be due to stump appendicitis, a rare complication where a remaining part of the appendix becomes inflamed. Other potential causes include scar tissue, hernias, or other abdominal issues. It's crucial to consult with your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
