Fllwing these recmmendatins will facilitate the perative prcedure and pstperative recvery. DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS AFTER FISTULOTOMY An anal fistula is an abnrmal channel r tunnel-like chrnic infectin that starts inside the
5 anus and ends utside n the skin arund the anus. Its develpment is usually the result f a previus anal infectin r abscess. Abut 50% f peple with an anal abscess end up with a fistula. Mst fistulas are shrt and superficial and are best treated by simply pening the entire tunnel and leaving it pen t heal in gradually. Occasinally a patient can have a cmplex fistula with multiple tracts r the tunnel may traverse a cnsiderable amunt f the sphincter muscle. Fr this reasn the surgical treatment has t be individualized fr each particular patient depending n the lcatin and anatmy f the fistula. Frequently, the surgen cannt guarantee exactly what will need t be dne until the examinatin that is dne under anesthesia at the time f the surgery. It is imprtant t realize that the perative prcedure can change depending n what is fund at the time f the surgery. At times a fistula will require mre than ne surgery t cure. During a simple fistultmy the tract is pened and left t heal. Sutures are smetimes used t narrw the wund but nt clse it cmpletely. If it is decided that the fistula is t deep r in a bad psitin t pen it cmpletely, a small drain- called a setn may be inserted. Yur surgen will explain hw this will be managed in the future. Discharge instructins: Fllwing yur fistultmy, yu may experience sme mild t mderate pain r discmfrt in yur rectal area. Yu may als experience cnstipatin, difficulty urinating, and pssibly sme rectal bleeding. The fllwing are sme general guidelines fr prper care after yur prcedure. Hme Care: A small amunt f bleeding is cmmn fllwing rectal surgery. A sanitary napkin r gauze may be wrn ver the anal pening t keep the underclthing clean. When there is n lnger any bleeding r discharge, there is n need t keep the pad in place. If there is prlnged r prfuse bleeding with passage f clts, call the ffice at nce. Difficulty urinating after fistultmy is unusual, but can ccur due t spasm f the urinary sphincter resulting frm pain due t the surgery. Getting the pain under cntrl and relaxing the sphincter usually allws fr the urine t pass. Take the pain medicatin yu were prescribed and d warm sitz baths either in a bath tub r sitz basin. While saking, attempt t relax the bladder and urinate int the water. If yu are unable t urinate in the first eight hurs after yur surgery, ntify the dctr s ffice. After hurs, g t the nearest emergency rm r urgent care center. A bladder catheter will be placed and remain in place fr 2 days, yu may call the ffice t have the catheter remved. Once yu have started t urinate, drink plenty f water and fruit juices (such as prune juice) after yur surgery. Yu will be given a prescriptin fr pain medicatin. Fllw the directins given by yur dctr fr taking this medicatin. After a day r tw, if the pain is subsiding try t use just plain Tylenl t ease residual discmfrt. T avid upset stmach, take yur pain medicatin as prescribed with fd in yur stmach. Take these drugs exactly as directed. Never take mre than the recmmended dse, and d nt take the drugs mre ften than directed. If the drugs d nt seem t be wrking, call the
6 ffice fr advice. D nt share these r any ther prescriptin drugs with thers because the drug may have a cmpletely different effect n the persn fr whm it was nt prescribed. Sme peple experience drwsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, r a false sense f well being after taking piid analgesics. Anyne wh takes these drugs shuld nt drive, use machines, r d anything else that might be dangerus until they knw hw the drug affects them. Nausea and vmiting are cmmn side effects, especially when first beginning t take the medicine.
