I had fistula which started a few days after my surgery and lasted for a few more weeks, even after being discharged from two weeks in the hospital. My fistula was cured by applying an ointment (which I can't remember now, but will let you know tomorrow, after I check my files at home) everyday, and covering the wound with a gauze.

I haven't heard, tho, about salivary leak. As with Jerry, can you describe exactly this 'leak' that your dad is having.
