Scared of LONG post-op recovery period ? Avail LASER surgery to heal your Fistula quickly!
An anal fistula is a small tunnel that develops between the end of the bowel and the skin near the anus. Anal fistula or fistula is usually the result of an infection near the anus causing a collection of pus (abscess) in the nearby tissue. When the pus drains away, it can leave a channel behind. Just inside your anus are several glands that generate fluid. Sometimes, they get blocked or clogged.
When that happens, a bacteria build up may create a swollen pocket of infected tissue and liquid typically called as an abscess. If you don’t treat the abscess, it’ll grow. Eventually, it’ll make its way to the outside and punch a hole in the skin somewhere near your anus so the gunk inside it can drain. The fistula is the tunnel that connects the gland to that opening.
If you have symptoms that suggest an anal fistula, your healthcare provider may refer you to a specialist who specializes in colon and rectal diseases. The specialist will ask about your symptoms and your medical history. During your physical exam, the doctor will look for a fistula opening near your anal opening. He or she may press on the area to see if it is sore and if pus comes out. Different methods may be used to help with the diagnosis, such as a fistula probe, an anoscope etc.
The doctor may also use imaging studies such as an ultrasound, which creates an image of the anal area using sound waves. Or they may include an MRI, which makes images of the area by using special magnets and a computer.

Unfortunately, healing a fistula without surgery is not possible. All hopes of healing an anal fistula through medication or special wound care have not been fulfilled. This technique attempts to gently remove the anal fistula by using laser energy. The flexible, all-round radiating fibre-optic probe is inserted into the fistula tract from the outside. Then the laser is slowly withdrawn.
Surgeon starts the laser treatment of the fistula only after the surgeons locate the Anal Fistula Tunnel. The tract is cleaned and the granulation or defective tissues are removed for good by curettage. After this, the laser energy is delivered into the tract. This is the first step to closing the abnormal pathway that cures the disease permanently. The laser energy destroys the epithelialized tissues and help the fistula tract collapse to a certain high degree. Without a doubt, it eases and accelerates the healing process in the end.
The inflammatory tissue is destroyed in a controlled manner and the fistula tract contracts. The anal gland that originally caused the fistula is inactivated.
Laser Treatment for Fistula shows various advantages and maybe that’s why patients are inclining towards this line of treatment. Compared to traditional medication and open surgeries, laser treatment for fistula cures the ailment in most effective manner. The laser treatment for fistula is minimally invasive, causes very less pain and blood loss. The treatment is completely painless and it does not cause any big cuts and stitches. Laser treatment for fistula may be planned as a day care surgery. The patients take lesser time to get back to their normal lifestyle as the rapid recovery process allows them to get back to routine lives normally after 24-48 hours of undergoing the treatment.
Typically, surgeons allow patients to start drinking water shortly after the surgery. The patients can take food immediately after they start feeling hungry. The patient can start walking slowly after a few hours of completing the surgical procedure. The patients can start living normally after 24-48 hours of undergoing the surgery.
It’s very much like taking an afternoon nap! Most patients feel just a small needle prick during the preparation for the treatment procedure. The whole anal fistula surgery takes about half an hour. Generally, the surgeons anesthetize only the lower half of the patients.
Surgeons allow patients to take a light diet initially. They suggest a fibre-rich diet that they can get to strengthen their body. They can take the diet before and after the fistula surgery.
Fistula, if untreated for long, can lead to serious complications including an infection and subsequent sepsis - a dangerous condition resulting in organ damage and possible death.
Surgeons suggest plenty of rest. Sitz Bath is also suggested at least 3 times a day. Additionally, maintain hygiene and take a diet that is rich in fibre.
