Complications of Fistula Repair Surgery
Fistula Repair Complications
As with any procedure, it's possible for complications to happen, although this is uncommon. Possible complications associated with fistula repair procedures include:
- Bowel blockage (obstruction)
- Infection
- Fistula recurrence
- Losing some control of your bowels (incontinence)
Our experts at Stanford Health Care meticulously plan procedures based on each patient's specific needs. This helps avoid complications.
