An anal fistula is an infected tunnel between the skin and the anus, the muscle opening at the end of the digestive tract. The majority of anal fistulas are caused by an infection of the anal glands that spreads to the skin. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and the secretion of blood and pus from the anus. Surgery is usually used to treat anal fistulas.
Anal Fistula does require the attention of a colorectal surgeon or a proctologist. Due to the abscess and infection, the fistula does not heal on its own, and it may spread and cause further complications. As a result, it is preferable to begin treatment as soon as possible.
An anal fistula is diagnosed at Healing Hands Clinic after a brief history and a clinical examination that includes a digital rectal examination. At the same time, a proctoscopy (a minor examination of the rectum with a small tube-like scope) is performed to check for any concurrent rectum conditions. For complicated fistulas with difficult-to-define tracts, an MRI Fistulogram may be required.

Fistula is a difficult condition to treat.
The majority of techniques, including VAAFT, LIFT, and FiLaC, are successful in closing the fistula while leaving the sphincter intact. They all, however, have different recurrence rates. Given the seriousness of a fistula, even a small chance of recurrence can put the patient's life in jeopardy.
As a specialised Proctology super speciality, Healing Hands Clinic has treated a large number of Fistula cases (a department of surgery that deals with the rectum and gluteal region). We've tried to understand the essence of the illness and the cause of recurrences based on our years of treating fistula patients. We developed the DLPL (Distal Laser Proximal Ligation). technique after conducting extensive research and applying all of our knowledge and skill.
An abscess pit and the interior opening are first excised during this procedure. The distal tract closure takes this into account. The Leonardo Laser is then used to close the proximal end of the fistula tract. The laser's radially emitting fibre delivers energy to the fistula tract in a circumstantial pattern. This secures that the tract is completely closed.
THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE CASE OF RECURRENCE OR INCONTINENCE IN A SERIES OF 100 PATIENTS WITH COMPLEX HIGH FISTULAS TREATED WITH DLPL.

It's like taking a small nap! All you will feel is a small needle prick during your preparation for the procedure. The entire surgery takes about 30 minutes. Occasionally, only the lower half of your body is anaesthetised and you will be alert and probably having a chat with your doctor!
Yes, the laser probe is inserted within the fistula tract and the laser energy is applied circumferentially to coagulate ( burn ) it. The tract heals by a process called 'secondary intention'.
You will normally be able to start drinking water shortly after the procedure and can start eating as soon as you are hungry. You will be able to get out of bed a few hours after surgery. You are likely to have some pain after the procedure that is easily controlled with painkillers.
If your operation is planned as a day care procedure you can go home as soon as the effect of the anaesthetic has worn off, you have passed urine and you are comfortable, eating and drinking. Since a general anaesthetic is used, it is advisable that a responsible adult take you home and stay with you for 24 hours.
At times you may be given a discharge after 24 hours in which case you may need to stay in the hospital for a night.Before you are discharged you will be advised about post-operative care, painkillers and laxatives.
You do not need a specific diet. Just make sure you eat a healthy, fiber-rich diet before and after surgery.
Get plenty of rest, take a Sitz bath about 3 times a day ( especially after a bowel movement ), maintain self-hygiene and consume a fibre rich diet.
You may start travelling after a week.
Fever > 101 degree F
Pain not relieved by prescribed medicines
Unusual bleeding with bowel movement
Persistent nausea or vomiting
