Why Is Chemical Abrasion Done After A Surgery For A Horseshoe Fistula?

I had surgury for a horseshoe fisula on 4/21 and have been going back to the surgeon for periodic check ups. This Monday 5/23 he used a scope to see the inside part of the surgury. He then performed a chemical abrasion which is causing me a lot of discomfort, he said this is normal, the the two ends of the surgury needed this treatment, WHY?

Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query in details .

* Most common reason for chemical abrasion is to abolish residual
inflammed mucosa after surgery to prevent chances of re occurence of
fistula .
