i had perianal abcess and had undergone I&D procedure along with fistulonomy four months back. I have been getting on and off pain ever since, last week i consulted another doctor and he ordered fistulagram. As per fistulagram i have superficial fistula at the same place where i had been operated.. New doctor says i will need surgery to cure it, there is no discharge or blood.

my old surgeon who operated me says, its same wound and as it is not completely closed reports are treating it as fistula. do lay open wound take so much time to heal?

i am confused now, should i go for surgery?
