Hi, I don't have crohns but have had a low rectalvaginal fistula since the birth of my first daughter in 2011 due to forceps delivery and a 4th degree tear. Needless to say I had an elective section with my second daughter last July. Between the 2 births I had tests done to diagnose a weak interanal sphincter and the fistula. I decided to wait until after my second child to have the fistula repaired. In March this year I had a seton in place for drainage and last week (13/7/15) had this removed and a LIFT procedure performed. I would to hear of any success stories with a similar story to mine as I am doubtful mine has worked. I'm feeling very low and alone even though I have a great husband and family. It's hard to discuss with anyone else as they can't really understand the emotional impact it has on someone having to live with something like this.
I hope that the repair was indeed successful despite your concern.
