Fistula Surgery
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

It doesn't happen often but he may be right
Give some time for wound to heal
Avoid prolong sitting
Visit the surgeon again for opinion
