Complex anal fistulas are a challenging condition to treat, often requiring intricate procedures that carry the risk of compromising the anal sphincter. Healing Hands Clinic introduces DLPL (Distal Laser Proximal Ligation), an innovative and sphincter-saving approach that offers effective results for patients suffering from this condition

What Is DLPL?

DLPL is a cutting-edge technique designed to treat complex fistulas while preserving the integrity of the anal sphincter. The procedure involves :

  • Proximal Ligation : Ligation of the fistula tract at its origin to stop the flow of infectious material.
  • Distal Laser Closure : Closure of the distal part of the fistula tract using precise laser energy, promoting healing without extensive tissue damage.

This minimally invasive approach ensures reduced post-operative pain, faster recovery, and a significant reduction in recurrence rates compared to traditional surgical methods.
