I have been dealing with a perianal abscess and fistula for the past 2 years, during which I underwent 7 surgeries and had two Setons in place. Unfortunately, the abscess kept recurring despite these treatments. After enduring the pain from the abscess and the irritation caused by the Setons, I decided to research different surgeons, which is how I found Mrs. Craig, thanks to the reviews left by others. At my first consultation, Mrs. Craig explained that her approach would be different from what I had experienced before. She planned to remove the two Setons and replace them with a soft thread that I would need to floss twice daily. She took the time to thoroughly explain everything, answer all of our questions, and outline a clear plan of action for my case. In July, I had surgery for a laying open procedure and Seton replacement, after which I began the daily flossing routine. While the flossing was painful and uncomfortable at first, the discomfort started to lessen after a couple of weeks. There are a few items that helped make the process easier, like Instillagel (a numbing cream), olive oil, and Sitz baths. I'm really glad I decided to see Mrs. Craig because I'm now starting to feel much better. The abscess hasn't returned, as the Seton flossing helps with drainage. I believe that in a few more weeks, I’ll be fully cured. I had never heard of Seton flossing before, but this technique has proven to be effective for me. Her nurse, Tracey, has also been fantastic, and I’ve been seeing her weekly for any issues. Mrs. Craig has truly been a lifesaver for me.
