Laser Fistula Treatment

Understanding Laser Fistula Treatment

Laser Fistula Treatment is a modern, minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to treat anal fistulas with precision, safety, and quicker recovery. An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel between the anal canal and the skin near the anus, often caused by infection in an anal gland. It can lead to pain, swelling, pus or blood discharge, and recurrent abscesses. Traditional open surgeries can be painful and require longer recovery, but laser treatment offers a safer and more comfortable alternative. By using advanced laser technology, this procedure seals the fistula tract internally without damaging surrounding tissues.

Why Choose Laser Surgery for Fistula?

Laser Fistula Treatment is highly effective and is associated with fewer complications, minimal pain, and faster return to daily activities. During the procedure, a special radial laser probe is inserted into the fistula tract. The laser energy gently destroys the fistula lining and closes the tract from within. Since the surrounding muscles, including the anal sphincter, are preserved, the risk of incontinence is extremely low. This makes it a preferred option for both simple and complex fistulas. The procedure is usually done under short anesthesia and is a daycare surgery, meaning patients can often go home the same day.

Benefits and Recovery After Laser Fistula Surgery

Patients undergoing Laser Fistula Treatment typically experience minimal postoperative discomfort, reduced bleeding, and a much quicker recovery time compared to conventional surgery. There are no large incisions or stitches, which means a lower risk of infection and less scarring. Most patients resume normal activities within a few days, and follow-up care is minimal.
