What Is Fistulotomy?
Fistulotomy is one of the most common and effective surgical procedures for treating anal fistula.
In this procedure, the fistula tract is carefully opened and cleaned so that it can heal naturally from inside out. This allows proper drainage and prevents recurrence of infection.
Fistulotomy is typically recommended for simple or low fistulas that do not involve a large portion of the anal sphincter muscle.
Early diagnosis and treatment prevent chronic infection and complications.
When Is Fistulotomy Recommended?
Dr. Soham Patel may advise fistulotomy if:
- The fistula is simple and straight
- Minimal sphincter muscle involvement is present
- There is recurrent pus discharge
- The patient has had repeated abscess formation
Proper evaluation and imaging (if required) help determine if fistulotomy is the safest and most suitable option.
Who Is a Candidate for Laser Fistula Surgery?
Laser surgery is ideal for:
- Simple and complex fistulas
- Recurrent fistula cases
- Patients seeking a faster recovery
- Individuals wanting minimally invasive treatment
A proper clinical evaluation and imaging (MRI fistulography if required) help determine suitability.
