Fibrin Glue for Anal Fistula
I have developed an anal fistula as a result of having an absess, which was surgically drained. My physician is recommending the use of fibrin glue rather than surgery. The glue would be prepared from blood donated by myself.
Questions:
1) Is fibrin glue an effective method to treat a fistula.

3) If the procedure doesn't work (I am told there is a 60% success rate), does this complicate future surgery?
I am scheduled for this on June 26th. Any info before then would be appreciated.
