Hi Sir, How to do wound dressing after a LIFT procedure for a transphincteric fistula at home? My fiancee had a 5.5 cm fistula extending from his right cheek of the butt to his sphincter at 6 o clock position and it's been 2 days since the surgery.

I would suggest to keep it open. You may place a clean handkerchief to cover it. Do site bath twice daily. But do follow your treating doctor’s advice.
