An infected tunnel between the skin and the anus, the muscular opening at the end of the digestive tract, is known as an anal fistula. An infection of the anal glands that spreads to the skin is the most common cause of anal fistulas. Pain, swelling, and the release of blood and pus from the anus are all symptoms. Anal fistulas are usually treated with surgery.
A colorectal surgeon or a proctologist should be consulted if you have an anal fistula. The fistula does not heal on its own due to the abscess and infection, and it may spread and cause further difficulties. As a result, it's best to get started on treatment right away.
An anal fistula is diagnosed following a brief history and a clinical examination that includes a digital rectal examination at Healing Hands Clinic. A proctoscopy (a minor inspection of the rectum with a short tube-like scope) is performed at the same time to rule out any other rectum diseases. An MRI Fistulogram may be required for intricate fistulas with difficult-to-define pathways.

Fistula is a challenging condition to heal. The ultimate goal of any fistula treatment should be to
The majority of treatments, such as VAAFT, LIFT, and FiLaC, work to close the fistula while leaving the sphincter intact. However, t hey all have distinct recurrence rates. Given the severity of a fistula, even a slight possibility of recurrence can jeopardise the patient's life.
Healing Hands Clinic has treated a huge number of Fistula cases as a specialised Proctology super specialty (a department of surgery that deals with the rectum and gluteal region). Based on our years of treating fistula patients, we've attempted to comprehend the nature of the sickness and the cause of recurrences. After completing considerable research and utilising all of our knowledge and experience, we developed the DLPL (Distal Laser Proximal Ligation) approach.
During this surgery, an abscess pit and the inner opening are initially excised. This is taken into account during distal tract closure. The Leonardo Laser is then utilised to shut the fistula tract's proximal end. In a circumstantial pattern, the laser's radially emitting fibre sends energy to the fistula tract. This ensures that the tract is closed entirely.
IN A SERIES OF 100 PATIENTS WITH COMPLEX HIGH FISTULAS TREATED WITH DLPL, THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE CASE OF RECURRENCE OR INCONTINENCE.

It's like taking a small nap! All you will feel is a small needle prick during your preparation for the procedure. The entire surgery takes about 30 minutes. Occasionally, only the lower half of your body is anaesthetised and you will be alert and probably having a chat with your doctor!
Yes, the laser probe is inserted within the fistula tract and the laser energy is applied circumferentially to coagulate ( burn ) it. The tract heals by a process called 'secondary intention'.
You will normally be able to start drinking water shortly after the procedure and can start eating as soon as you are hungry. You will be able to get out of bed a few hours after surgery. You are likely to have some pain after the procedure that is easily controlled with painkillers.
If your operation is planned as a day care procedure you can go home as soon as the effect of the anaesthetic has worn off, you have passed urine and you are comfortable, eating and drinking. Since a general anaesthetic is used, it is advisable that a responsible adult take you home and stay with you for 24 hours.
At times you may be given a discharge after 24 hours in which case you may need to stay in the hospital for a night.Before you are discharged you will be advised about post-operative care, painkillers and laxatives.
You do not need a specific diet. Just make sure you eat a healthy, fiber-rich diet before and after surgery.
Get plenty of rest, take a Sitz bath about 3 times a day ( especially after a bowel movement ), maintain self-hygiene and consume a fibre rich diet.
