What is an Anal Fistula?

An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel that forms between the anal canal and the skin near the anus. It often develops after an infection or abscess that fails to heal completely, creating a pathway for pus or stool to leak through.

If left untreated, it can cause repeated infections, pain, and persistent discharge.


Common Symptoms of Fistula

Watch for these symptoms that may indicate an anal fistula:

πŸ”Ή Repeated pus or fluid discharge near the anus
πŸ”Ή Pain or swelling around the anal area
πŸ”Ή Redness or irritation on the skin
πŸ”Ή Fever or malaise (in severe infections)
πŸ”Ή Lump or small hole near the anus that doesn’t heal


Causes & Risk Factors

Anal fistulas usually develop due to:

βœ… Anal abscess or infection
βœ… Chronic inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s)
βœ… Tuberculosis or trauma
βœ… Previous anorectal surgery
βœ… Blocked anal glands


Types of Fistula

Dr. Ankur Bhanushali carefully evaluates the type and complexity of your fistula before deciding the best treatment plan. Common types include:

πŸ”Ή Intersphincteric Fistula – Between internal and external sphincter muscles
πŸ”Ή Transsphincteric Fistula – Passes through both sphincters
πŸ”Ή Suprasphincteric Fistula – Extends above sphincter muscles
πŸ”Ή Extrasphincteric Fistula – Connects rectum to outer skin, rare but complex


Modern Fistula Treatment Options

Depending on the type and severity, fistula can be treated through:

βœ… Laser Fistula Surgery (FiLaC or Laser Closure) – Minimally invasive, safe, and precise
βœ… LIFT Procedure (Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract) – For complex fistulas
βœ… Fistulectomy / Fistulotomy – Surgical removal or opening of the fistula tract
βœ… Seton Placement – For gradual healing in complex cases

At Dr. Ankur Surgical Clinic, laser techniques are preferred due to faster healing and reduced recurrence.


Laser Fistula Surgery – Step-by-Step

πŸ•’ Before Surgery

Patients undergo detailed diagnosis, including MRI fistulogram and proctoscopy. Dr. Ankur will explain the procedure, anesthesia, and recovery steps clearly.

πŸ” During Surgery

Laser energy is used to close the internal fistula tract, sterilizing and sealing it without large incisions. The procedure usually takes 30–45 minutes and is performed under short anesthesia.

🌟 After Surgery

Most patients go home the same day. Mild discomfort subsides within 2–3 days. Regular follow-ups ensure proper healing and prevent recurrence.


Benefits of Laser Fistula Surgery

Laser treatment is a breakthrough in modern proctology due to its many benefits:

πŸ”Ή No major cuts or stitches
πŸ”Ή Minimal bleeding
πŸ”Ή Quick recovery (3–5 days)
πŸ”Ή Short hospital stay or daycare procedure
πŸ”Ή Low recurrence rate
πŸ”Ή Preserves anal sphincter function (no incontinence risk)
