After surgery for a perianal abscess, the local wound is relatively large, and there will be fresh granulation tissue and secretions on the wound, so the healing time mainly depends on the size of the wound and the degree of inflammatory infection.

If it is a superficial perianal abscess with a small local wound, the recovery time after surgery generally requires about ten days.

If the abscess cavity of the perianal abscess is large or has multiple openings, accompanied by local sphincter infectious symptoms, the recovery time after surgery may take about three to four weeks.

In order to promote the rapid healing of the local wound, it is necessary to disinfect and change dressings after surgery, as well as local drainage. Generally, gauze impregnated with oil is selected to compress and drain the wound locally. If the wound drainage is unobstructed, the natural healing time is faster.
