Will delaying my fistula surgery by 10 days make it worse if it's currently 2.54 cm from the opening

Delaying fistula surgery by 10 days when the fistula is currently 2.54 cm from the opening could potentially lead to complications, including infection, abscess formation, and a more complex fistula tract. While a short delay might not always be a significant issue, it's generally advisable to proceed with surgery as planned unless there are compelling reasons for postponement, according to a medical news article about fistula surgery recovery.
