Fistula Surgery

An Anal Fistula is an abnormal tunnel or connection between the inside of the anal canal and the skin near the anus. It often develops after an infection or abscess that fails to heal properly. If left untreated, it can cause recurring pain, swelling, and discharge, significantly affecting daily comfort.

We offer advanced Laser Fistula Surgery (FiLaC – Fistula Laser Closure) — a modern, minimally invasive treatment that ensures faster healing, less pain, and a very low recurrence rate.

Common Symptoms

• Persistent pain or swelling near the anus
• Discharge of pus or blood
• Itching and irritation around the anal area
• Recurrent abscesses or infections
• Discomfort while sitting or during bowel movements

Causes

• Previous anal abscess
• Inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn’s disease)
• Chronic infection in the anal glands
• Trauma or injury to the anal region

Treatment Options

1. Conventional Surgery (Fistulectomy/Fistulotomy)

Traditional surgical methods involve opening or removing the fistula tract. While effective, they often require longer healing time and may be associated with more discomfort.

2. Laser Fistula Surgery (FiLaC)

Laser treatment is a revolutionary, minimally invasive approach where a laser fiber is inserted into the fistula tract to seal it from within.

Benefits include:

• Minimal bleeding and pain
• No damage to surrounding muscles
• Quick recovery and shorter hospital stay
• Negligible scarring
• Very low recurrence rate
