surgery in 2 days fistula.. advice?
my surgeon told me he will cut a triangle shape out of my bowel that will include the fistula. it is apparently in part of my spinkter but i dont think it is too much. he said he wont stitch the wound because he wants it to heal naturally? im getting just an epidural as i hate anethesia.
also having an enema in hospital. its day surgery and is only expected to take an hr.
im terrified.
i had an extreemly painful fissure 2 years ago which created this fistula. im scared it will be just as painful as he will be cutting inside my bowel just like where my fissure was. im in hardly any pain at the moment.
im also scared of the enema. does it hurt? and the epidural can u feel the needle in ur spine?
