What is Anal Fistula? The Anal Fistula problem usually presents with a small boil near the anal opening. This ruptures and discharges thin fluid or pus. The discharge dries up in a few days only to come back again after a few weeks. This condition is called a Fistula.

Types of Fistula in Ano: Fistulas are classified according to their relationship to small portions of the anal sphincter complex ● ● ● ● Intersphincteric Transsphincteric Suprasphincteric Extrasphincteric. Intersphincteric is the most common and extrasphincteric is the least common. These classifications are important to help the surgeon make decisions during treatment. What is Complex Fistula?

Fistula Treatment in Bangalore: Fistula treatment in Bangalore is done with different methods such as laser and surgical methods. Each treatment method has its advantages and disadvantages. The goal of any surgery for a fistula in the anus is to relieve the fistula or protect the anal sphincter muscles, which can cause incontinence if damaged. Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi at Hosmat hospital chooses the best treatment option as per discussion with patients. Looking for the best doctor for fistula treatment in Bangalore, Internationally recognized surgeons at Dr.Bhushan Chittawadagi Hosmat Hospital, Bangalore offer holistic treatment for complex fistula with minimal recurrence rate and almost zero incontinence rate. Fistula treatment options are below ● Fistulectomy: This is a surgical fistula treatment in which the fistula tract is completely cut off. Under general anesthesia, the fistula tract is removed and the resulting groove is left behind to heal. Fistulectomy carries the risk of damaging the sphincter muscles, resulting in fecal incontinence, and is usually the treatment option for complex types of fistula. This can lead to complications after surgery, including bowel incontinence (if the anus or rectum is involved), abscess, or fistula recurrence. ● Ligation of the intersphincteric Fistula Tract (LIFT): Ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract (LIFT) procedure is the best treatment for fistulas passing through the anal sphincter muscle, where fistulotomy is too risky. It is a highly efficient procedure with almost no recurrence or incontinence. Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi, a well-known colorectal surgeon in Bangalore, specializes in complex fistula surgery. LIFT(Ligation of intersphincteric Fistula Tract) procedure is used for the treatment of Complex fistulas. Firstly, a seton is kept in the fistula tract, forcing it to widen over time. So after a few weeks, the surgeon removes the infected tissue and closes the internal fistula opening. ● Fistula-tract Laser Closure (FiLaC): The FILAC (fistula-tract laser closure) technique aims to gently ablate the fistula tract without injuring the sphincter muscle. The procedure uses the Leonardo laser. With the patient under general anesthesia, the procedure is completed in 30 to 40 minutes. ● VAAFT: This technique is minimally invasive and is a sphincter-sparing technique for treating complex fistulas. A video telescope helps our expert fistula surgeons see inside the fistula tract. A polar electrode for the internal pathway. During this process, it is connected to a high-frequency generator. Also, fistula brushes and forceps are used to clean the tract and clean out granulation tissue. ● FISTULA PLUG: The fistula plug is a 100% synthetic bio-absorbable scaffold. This plug is placed in the fistula tract. Over time cells from the body migrate into the scaffold and new tissue is generated as the body gradually absorbs the plug material, leaving no permanent material in the body.
