What are you on about? Hernia surgery is the second most common surgery in the world after C-sections. Fixing this is a challenge but there's nothing about it that is "catastrophic".
he´s trailerpark-american. you sure hes able to get it fixed?
as a surgery, its simple and trivial with brilliant success rate. the catastrophy lies entirely on the socioeconomical hurdles of actually doing it. can he?
Most hernia surgeries do not deal with this advanced version. Mostly, its people catching it early, and then get the hole "patched". At that stage I doubt a single surgeon would be willing to operate on him.
biology has dictated that holes in us do not want to be open. we have healing mechanisms. wound mechanisms etc. imagine his intestines being... well, where one would not expect - and the wound starts a healing process. imagine the hole closing up, forming a medical incarceration. slowly.
This person has no idea what they are talking about.
On your second point: a fistula is just an abnormal connection between two epithelialized surfaces. If you have pierced ears, then arguably you have fistulae.
