this will be under anesthetic. the surgeon is just doing it as a precaution to have a look inside as a small leak/sinus came up on the pre takedown scan. he may clean up the area, if there is something there, but i am not showing any symptoms.
also he may perform dilation.
i tolerated colonoscopies fine without sedation but I guess this is a different kettle of fish.
i got a bit of anal discomfort when i last had a digital exam so I should expect a few days or more of discomfort after this procedure?
