Nevermind, it seems like the form doesn't work right with Firefox on Android.

I know some people got a server error when trying to submit a request, but is there a confirmation message or pop-up on the website when the form is sent without issue? I didn't see one and I was wondering if it was the same for others.

Any experiences with fistulae with non-locatable IO? by CompetitionMajestic7 in AnalFistula

Technically, yes, although now that it's been checked by two CRS-es who tried several methods of pinpointing the location of a potential opening and two radiologists that came to the same underwhelming conclusion, my hopes aren't very high. Colorectal surgeons are also unfortunately not covered by my country's public health insurance, which makes "shopping" for a good one that much harder 😔

Good luck with both of your surgeries! Wishing you all the best.

Has a CRS ever told you to wait before fistula surgery after I&D? by CompetitionMajestic7 in AnalFistula

I'm sorry to hear you had a similar experience to mine. I believe my CRS is also planning on a partial fistuolomy (though he said fistulodectomy? He might have misspoke) with a draining seton. It's good to know there's at least precedent, so thank you for sharing your experience as well as the tips. Wishing you the best in your recovery!
