Fistula Surgery

2021-03-04 08:02:02
Hello Doctor, I had surgery for fistula on January 8th 2021. My wound got healed completely on February 27th 2021. Today I observed a small hole at surgery site (no pus drainage).Out of fear I consulted my surgeon immediately he said "skin is fragile so there is a tear in the skin nothing to worry it's absolute normal".. I am confused,does this happen with every case after surgery?? Is this normal??  Please help

Uncommon but not rare, just follow up with your surgeon and wait for healing
