How long does it take to be discharged from the hospital for anal fistula surgery

Anal fistula surgery is usually discharged from the hospital in about a week. There are many surgical methods for anal fistula, such as anal fistula excision, anal fistula hanging or anal fistula incision, which are mainly done around the patient’s anus. The actual fact is that you will need to have a comprehensive examination before the surgery, and after the surgery you need to change the medication or use some antibiotics to prevent wound infection. In addition, the patient needs to be observed for bowel movements and local bleeding, and is usually discharged from the hospital about a week after surgery. Patients are advised to eat a light diet and keep their bowels open to avoid dry stools, which may cause local wound bleeding or increase wound pain. In addition, after the patient is discharged from the hospital, the patient should be advised to go to the hospital for regular review to understand the wound healing situation.
