Will delaying my fistula surgery by 10 days make it worse if it's currently 2.54 cm from the opening
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.
