Types of Fistula Surgery
Several surgical approaches can be used to treat fistulas, depending on their location and severity:
Fistulotomy
A commonly used procedure, especially for simple anal fistulas. The fistula tract is opened to heal from the inside out.
Seton Placement
A surgical thread (seton) is placed in the fistula to promote drainage and healing. It is often used for complex or deep fistulas to avoid damage to the muscles and reduce the risk of incontinence.
Advancement Flap Procedure
A flap of healthy tissue is used to close the internal opening of the fistula, ideal in cases where fistulotomy is not suitable.
Fibrin Glue
A minimally invasive approach, where a special biological glue seals the fistula tract. It is suitable for select simple cases.
LIFT Procedure
A modern technique that closes the fistula tract while preserving muscle function and reducing the risk of complications.
Laser Fistula surgery
A laser is used to clean and close the fistula internally, allowing faster healing, less pain, and minimal scarring.
