Fistulogram – Accurate Diagnosis for Anal Fistula
Experiencing pain, swelling, or pus discharge near the anal area?
If your doctor suspects an anal fistula, a fistulogram can help get a clear, detailed view of the fistula tract — making treatment safer, precise, and more effective.
What Exactly Is a Fistulogram?
A fistulogram is a special type of X-ray imaging used to map out fistula tracts.
By injecting a contrast dye into the fistula opening, this procedure shows the exact path and connections of the fistula on X-ray.
This helps your surgeon understand the complexity of the fistula, which is essential for successful surgical planning.
Why Is a Fistulogram Needed?
Fistulas can be simple or complex, with multiple branches that are not visible from the outside.
A fistulogram helps to:
• Identify the exact path of the fistula
• Detect hidden branches or abscesses
• Plan precise and minimally invasive surgery
• Reduce the risk of recurrence
Accurate diagnosis ensures better surgical outcomes and faster recovery.
How Is a Fistulogram Done?
- A small opening of the fistula is cleaned
- Contrast dye is gently injected into the fistula
- X-rays are taken to visualize the tract
- The images guide your surgeon to plan treatment accurately
It is a safe and minimally invasive procedure with no major pain or downtime.
Benefits of Getting a Fistulogram
• Accurate mapping of fistula tracts
• Detects hidden branches or abscesses
• Helps plan laser or surgical treatment precisely
• Minimizes surgical risks
• Improves recovery and reduces recurrence
For complex or recurrent fistulas, a fistulogram is often the first step to a successful treatment.
