At Healing Hands Clinic, an anal fistula is diagnosed through a clinical examination and proctoscopy. Complex cases may require an MRI Fistulogram.
Fistula is a challenging condition to heal. The ultimate goal of any fistula treatment should be to
The majority of treatments, such as VAAFT, LIFT, and FiLaC, work to close the fistula while leaving the sphincter intact. However, they all have distinct recurrence rates. Given the severity of a fistula, even a slight possibility of recurrence can jeopardise the patient's life.
Healing Hands Clinic has treated a huge number of Fistula cases as a specialised Proctology super specialty (a department of surgery that deals with the rectum and gluteal region). Based on our years of treating fistula patients, we've attempted to comprehend the nature of the sickness and the cause of recurrences. After completing considerable research and utilising all of our knowledge and experience, we developed the DLPL (Distal Laser Proximal Ligation) approach.
During this surgery, an abscess pit and the inner opening are initially excised. This is taken into account during distal tract closure. The Leonardo Laser is then utilised to shut the fistula tract's proximal end. In a circumstantial pattern, the laser's radially emitting fibre sends energy to the fistula tract. This ensures that the tract is closed entirely.

We are recognized as the most innovative proctology hospital, pioneering our own treatment methods for intricate Anorectal conditions. Our primary focus is on curing with care.
Anal fistulas do not heal on their own and require specialised surgical intervention. At Healing Hands Clinic Ahmedabad, advanced sphincter-preserving techniques such as DLPL, FiLaC, VAAFT, and TROPIS are used to treat both simple and complex fistulas. These modern approaches focus on eliminating the root cause of the fistula while protecting sphincter muscles, reducing recurrence, and enabling faster recovery.
Most patients treated at Healing Hands Clinic Ahmedabad are able to resume routine daily activities within 1–2 days. Minimally invasive laser-based procedures cause less tissue damage, minimal pain, and do not require prolonged bed rest resulting in significantly faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Recurrence depends largely on the surgical technique used. Conventional methods may have variable recurrence rates. At Healing Hands Clinic Ahmedabad, advanced procedures such as DLPL, FiLaC, and TROPIS are designed to address the internal opening and the root of the fistula tract, achieving a very low recurrence rate (less than 1%). A personalised follow-up protocol further helps minimise the risk of recurrence.
