Anal Fistula Surgery
Advanced Minimally Invasive Treatment for Anal Fistula
An anal fistula is a small abnormal tunnel that forms between the inside of the anal canal and the skin around the anus. It usually develops after an anal abscess and can cause persistent pain, swelling, discharge, and recurrent infections. Anal fistulas rarely heal on their own and typically require surgical treatment for complete recovery.
At Delhi Advance Laparoscopic Centre, Dr. Akash Dua provides advanced surgical treatment for anal fistulas using modern, minimally invasive techniques that focus on effective healing while preserving normal bowel function.
What Is an Anal Fistula?
An anal fistula is an infected passage that develops after an anal gland becomes blocked and forms an abscess. Even after the abscess drains, a tunnel may remain, leading to ongoing infection and repeated discharge.
Without proper treatment, the fistula can continue to cause discomfort and recurrent infections.
Common Symptoms
- Persistent pain around the anus
- Swelling or redness near the anal area
- Pus or blood-stained discharge
- Recurrent boils or abscesses
- Pain during bowel movements
- Irritation or itching around the anus
- Fever in cases of active infection
When Is Surgery Recommended?
Surgery is recommended if you have:
- A confirmed anal fistula
- Recurrent anal abscesses
- Persistent pain or discharge
- Chronic infection that does not respond to medication
- Complex fistulas requiring specialist treatment
Surgery is the most effective treatment to eliminate the fistula and prevent recurrence.
Advanced Anal Fistula Surgery
The type of surgery depends on the location and complexity of the fistula. After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Akash Dua recommends the most appropriate treatment to remove the fistula while minimizing the risk of recurrence and protecting the anal sphincter muscles.
