Explanation

A "Repeat fistulogram" is a medical procedure that is done more than once to examine a fistula, which is an abnormal connection between two parts of the body. This procedure involves using a special dye that is visible on X-rays to get a clear picture of the fistula. The images obtained can help doctors understand the size, shape, and position of the fistula. This procedure is usually repeated if the first one did not provide enough information or if the fistula's condition has changed.
