Fistulotomy done today and I'm confused about the surgicel snow. How long should it be left in?

Posted , 1 user is following.

Nurse said it dissolves or falls out, but then she said I can't it out before a bath and do not need to put anything back in. Does anybody have experience with this? Should I leave it, take it out? there would be a wound left open.
