At Healing Hands Clinic Mohali, anal fistula is diagnosed through a detailed clinical examination and proctoscopy. In complex or recurrent cases, an MRI Fistulogram is advised to accurately map the fistula tract and plan the most effective treatment.
Anal fistula is a complex condition, and the goal of treatment is not just to eliminate the existing tract but also to preserve the sphincter muscles, prevent incontinence, and ensure zero or near-zero recurrence.
Conventional sphincter-saving techniques such as VAAFT, LIFT, and FiLaC focus on closing the fistula while protecting muscle function. While effective, these techniques still carry a measurable risk of recurrence something that can be extremely distressing for patients dealing with fistula disease.
As a dedicated proctology super-specialty centre, Healing Hands Clinic Mohali is equipped with advanced infrastructure and extensive experience in treating simple, complex, and recurrent fistulas. Years of focused clinical work have helped our specialists understand why fistulas recur and how to address the root cause rather than just the visible tract.
Based on extensive research and clinical outcomes, our team developed DLPL – Distal Laser Proximal Ligation, a technique designed to achieve the lowest recurrence rates reported in fistula management, while fully preserving sphincter integrity.

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.
Yes. An anal fistula does not heal on its own with medicines or home remedies. Surgical intervention is necessary to permanently close the fistula tract. At Healing Hands Clinic Mohali, we specialize in advanced, sphincter-preserving procedures such as DLPL (Distal Laser Proximal Ligation), FiLaC, LIFT, and VAAFT, which treat the fistula effectively while protecting muscle control and reducing recurrence.
Yes. Our Mohali centre offers state-of-the-art laser treatments including DLPL and FiLaC. These procedures are minimally invasive, almost painless, and involve very little bleeding. Most patients are discharged within 24 hours and can resume daily activities in 1–2 days.
Laser-based fistula surgery is highly effective when performed with the right technique. At Healing Hands Clinic, treatments like DLPL target the root cause of the fistula while preserving the sphincter muscles, resulting in success rates above 99% and a very low chance of recurrence.
Recurrence is possible if the fistula tract is not completely addressed. However, our advanced techniques especially DLPL are designed to seal both the internal and external components of the fistula. With proper follow-up and expert care, recurrence is extremely rare.
Because the procedures are minimally invasive, most patients are able to return to work and routine life within 1–2 days. Post-operative pain is usually mild and well controlled with medication, making recovery much faster than traditional open surgery.
