My daughter also needs to have fistula repair. It's been 3 months since her initial cleft surgery and we go back to the Plastic surgeon next week to see when he wants to repair the fistula. We were told at the initial surgery that when she developed a fistula (and we were told that she had a 95% chance of developing one) they would repair the fistula 3 - 6 months after the initial surgery. We plan to get it fixed as soon as our surgeon will do it. I agree with the last post, when in doubt, get a second opinion. Good luck.
