Fistula Surgery Recovery
How long does it take to recover after fistula surgery? Let’s break it down.
If you’ve undergone or are planning to undergo fistula surgery, one of the most common concerns is: “How long will the recovery take?”
The good news is — thanks to modern laser surgery, the recovery is now faster, less painful, and more comfortable than ever.
What is the typical recovery timeline?
🟢 Day 1-2: Most patients are discharged the same day or within 24 hours.
🟢 Day 3-5: You may return to light daily activities.
🟢 Day 7-10: Significant improvement is usually noticed.
🟢 Week 2-4: Complete internal healing (may vary based on severity of the fistula).
Laser surgery ensures minimal pain, no major cuts, and faster healing, compared to traditional open surgery.
Tips for smoother post-surgery recovery:
✅ Take medications as prescribed
✅ Avoid sitting for too long
✅ Eat high-fiber foods and drink plenty of water
✅ Prevent constipation
✅ Maintain proper hygiene of the surgical area
✅ Attend follow-up visits with your surgeon
Can fistula return after surgery?
With proper surgical technique (especially laser surgery) and good post-op care, the chances of recurrence are very low. That’s why choosing the right surgeon and method is crucial.
