Fistula healing
Assess healing of the fistula. This will be determined based on physical examination. A healed fistula will be a patient who 6 months after surgery no longer has drainage or evidence of infection. The internal opening should be closed on physical exam. The internal opening should feel closed on digital rectal exam. This will be assessed in each patient to determine the overall rate of healing.
Time frame: From device implant until 6 months after
