How Does It Work?

This treatment severs the abnormal connection between organs or tissues by addressing the tube that connects them. The treatment involves opening the tract and draining the pus as well as any other infection-causing agent. Moreover, by completely exposing the tissues, the body starts a healing process from the inside out. Lastly, the removal of the entire tract can reduce the risk of recurrence since there is no hidden space for the infection to linger and develop.

Results:

The patient will notice the sudden elimination of pain and discomfort as well as drainage of pus and mucus from the affected area. It also restores functioning in the bowel area, allowing the individual to preserve their health while getting rid of bowel discomfort.

Eligible Candidate:

This treatment is unsuitable for lactating women as well as patients with a rich history of keloid scars and active skin conditions in the affected area. Moreover, it is a good treatment option for those who show symptoms of fistulas and are generally healthy individuals. However, this treatment is also unsuitable for people with severe fistula.

Pre-Treatment:

• Fasting before the procedure is advised.
• Stop taking certain medications to avoid a negative interaction during the procedure.
• Avoid exposure to passive as well as active smoking.
• Do not shave the surgical site.
• Avoid drinking alcohol or consuming drugs.

What Happens During The Procedure:

• Before the start of the procedure, the bowel is cleaned with laxatives and enemas to eliminate stool contamination.
• Then, general or spinal anesthesia (to numb waist-down) is given to the patient.
• The specialist will make incisions in the targeted area to identify and examine the depth of the tract.
• The surgeon will cut along the entire length of the sac, ensuring no additional opening is left behind.
• Then, the wound is cleaned with a drainage tube to prevent fluid buildup and promote healing.
• If the wound is deep, then incisions are closed but typically, it is left to heal on its own.

Aftercare:

• Avoid exercising and allow the body to rest.
• Practice safe hygiene but do not scrub around the treated site.
• Avoid sexual intercourse for at least a week.
• Do not sit in one place for an extended amount of time; take frequent breaks to avoid discomfort.
• Wear loose-fitted clothing.
• Refrain strictly from smoking, since it can slow down the healing process.

Benefits To Look For:

• Eliminates any pain and discomfort felt around the anus, potentially getting rid of undesired drainage.
• Reduces the risk of UTIs, STDs, and other anal infections by closing the pathway responsible for it.
• Improves rectum muscle control, potentially contributing to restoring the natural functioning of bowel control.
• Enhances hygiene, since the constant drainage from these sacs can become a health hazard.
• Provides consistent results along with a high success rate, making it an ideal treatment.
• Addresses the underlying cause of the condition and symptoms to reduce the chance of recurrence.
• Boosts confidence by eliminating discomfort and allowing patients to wear anything without restriction.

Potential Side Effects:

These side effects normally do not persist and typically disappear after a few days. However, if these continue for more than a week, it is advised to consult the concerned healthcare professional immediately.
