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:
🔹 Repeated pus or fluid discharge near the anus
🔹 Pain or swelling around the anal area
🔹 Redness or irritation on the skin
🔹 Fever or malaise (in severe infections)
🔹 Lump or small hole near the anus that doesn’t heal
Causes & Risk Factors
Anal fistulas usually develop due to:
✅ Anal abscess or infection
✅ Chronic inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s)
✅ Tuberculosis or trauma
✅ Previous anorectal surgery
✅ 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:
🔹 Intersphincteric Fistula – Between internal and external sphincter muscles
🔹 Transsphincteric Fistula – Passes through both sphincters
🔹 Suprasphincteric Fistula – Extends above sphincter muscles
🔹 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:
✅ Laser Fistula Surgery (FiLaC or Laser Closure) – Minimally invasive, safe, and precise
✅ LIFT Procedure (Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract) – For complex fistulas
✅ Fistulectomy / Fistulotomy – Surgical removal or opening of the fistula tract
✅ 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
🕒 Before Surgery
Patients undergo detailed diagnosis, including MRI fistulogram and proctoscopy. Dr. Ankur will explain the procedure, anesthesia, and recovery steps clearly.
🔍 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:
🔹 No major cuts or stitches
🔹 Minimal bleeding
🔹 Quick recovery (3–5 days)
🔹 Short hospital stay or daycare procedure
🔹 Low recurrence rate
🔹 Preserves anal sphincter function (no incontinence risk)
