An anal fistula is a medical condition characterized by the development of an infected passageway between the skin and the muscular opening at the end of the digestive tract, known as the anus.
Typically, anal fistulas result from an infection originating in the anal gland, leading to the formation of an abscess. This abscess may discharge spontaneously or be drained through surgical intervention near the anus. Subsequently, the fistula progresses beneath the skin, establishing a connection with the infected gland.
The primary cause of nearly all anal fistulas is an anorectal abscess, stemming from an infection in one of the anal glands. If this abscess does not heal completely, with or without treatment, it can evolve into an anal fistula.
Other contributing factors to anal fistula development include :
FiLaC (Fistula-tract Laser Closure) :
Distal Laser Proximal Ligation (DLPL) :
VAAFT (Video Assisted Anal Fistula Treatment) :
Fistulectomy :

Usually, it takes around 6-8 weeks for a fistula to fully heal. Following the surgical procedure, it is crucial to observe complete rest for the initial 24 hours.

Incorporating these practices can contribute to the healing of the affected area and expedite the recovery process.
There's no need for a specific diet. It is recommended to adhere to a healthy eating routine that incorporates an adequate amount of fiber and protein both before and after your surgery.
Shortly following the procedure, you can start hydrating and resume eating when hunger arises. Post-surgery, you will have the flexibility to get out of bed and engage in movement. It is typical to encounter some discomfort after the surgery, but this can be efficiently addressed with the use of pain relievers.
