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 complex condition. Finally, the inspiration driving any fistula treatment isn't simply to discard the current fistula but to save the sphincter muscles and thusly avoid incontinence and to ensure no recurrence. By far most of the approaches like VAAFT, LIFT, FiLaC accomplish the central objective of closing the fistula and checking the sphincter. In any case, they all have their recurrence rate. Perceiving how vexing a fistula is, even a little chance of recurrence can be a pain for the patient.
Healing Hands Clinic, being an explicit Proctology super speciality centre ( a part of an operation that plans with the rectum and gluteal district), have the advanced infrastructure to treated Fistula cases. With advanced medical infrastructure and experience of treating fistula patients all through the years, have endeavoured to understand the substance of infirmity and the justification behind recurrence. Behind an all-around study and applying all data and capacities, we have developed a methodology which is known as DLPL - Distal Laser Proximal Ligation which has the lowest recurrence rate in the whole fraternity.
In this procedure, the focus is to exterminate the distal part of the fistula. The proximal piece of the fistula part is then closed with the Leonardo Laser. With the radially emitting fibre of the laser, energy is applied to the fistula in a circumferential nature. This guarantees that the fistula is completely cured without harming the sphincter.

Yes, surgery is necessary for fistulas, as they will not heal with medicines or home remedies. At Healing Hands Clinic Ludhiana, we perform advanced sphincter-preserving procedures like DLPL (Distal Laser Proximal Ligation), FiLaC (Fistula Laser Closure), LIFT, and VAAFT. These minimally invasive treatments ensure effective healing while protecting muscle control, resulting in quicker recovery and a lower chance of recurrence compared to traditional open surgery.
Yes. At our Ludhiana clinic, we provide modern laser-based procedures such as DLPL and FiLaC. These treatments are highly precise, nearly painless, and involve minimal bleeding. Most patients are able to go home the same day or within 24 hours, resuming their routine within 1–2 days.
Laser surgery at Healing Hands Clinic Ludhiana is extremely effective. By targeting the root of the fistula while preserving surrounding muscles, our techniques like DLPL and FiLaC achieve a long-term success rate of over 99%, with very low recurrence.
Although fistulas can recur if not treated properly, our globally recognized methods (DLPL, FiLaC, and VAAFT) are specifically designed to minimize recurrence. With expert care and proper follow-up, most patients enjoy long-lasting results.
