Anal Fistula Surgery

An anal fistula is a small tunnel that connects an abscess, an infected cavity in the anus, to an opening on the skin around the anus. The anus is the external opening through which feces are expelled from the body. Just inside the anus are a number of small glands that make mucus. Occasionally, these glands get clogged and can become infected, leading to an abscess. About half of these abscesses may develop into a fistula. Dr. Sukhvinder Singh Saggu Has extensive experience in Fistula Treatment in Rajendra Nagar.

How is Anal Fistula is treated?

Minimally Invasive Anal Fistula Treatment technique is a major breakthrough treatment option for complex fistulas. In this technique, the fistula path is first examined with an endoscope to determine the point of the internal opening of the fistula. Then the internal opening of the fistula is closed with the help of stapler and the entire path of the fistula is destroyed by electrocautery under direct telescopic vision.

There is no surgical wound in the perianal region hence no dressings needed. The risk of faecal incontinence is negligent because no sphinter damages occur. The procedure is done under spinal anesthesia/ general anesthesia. There is minimal post-operative discomfort thereby reducing the time of recovery. fistula treatment in Delhi
