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. Ultimately, any fistula treatment should aim.
The majority of techniques, such as VAAFT, LIFT, and FiLaC, succeed in closing the fistula while preserving the sphincter. They all have different recurrence rates, though. Given the severity of a fistula, even a small chance of recurrence can be a life-threatening situation for the patient.
Healing Hands Clinic has treated a large number of Fistula cases as a specialised Proctology super speciality (a department of surgery that deals with the rectum and gluteal region). Based on our years of treating fistula patients, we've attempted to understand the essence of the illness and the cause of recurrences. After conducting extensive research and applying all of our knowledge and skills, we developed a technique known as DLPL (Distal Laser Proximal Ligation).
During this procedure, an abscess pit and the interior opening are first excised. This is taken into account by the distal tract closure. The Leonardo Laser is then used to close the fistula tract's proximal end. The radially emitting fibre of the laser delivers energy to the fistula tract circumstantially. This ensures that the tract is closed completely.
