umbilical fistula

Posted , 2 users are following.

My mom has an umbilical fistula which i believe has been caused by removal of her gall bladder. She has a large amount of feces leaking from it, the amount the average person would pass out there bottom daily. Has anyone ever had this as they have said she has to wait 8 weeks to see if the hole heals itself before they will consider surgery to close I. Thanks in advance Amanda.
