About Anal fistula

2022-10-25 07:58:13
I am going through moderate pain for last 10 days and visited a surgeon near by. He too me that I got internal fistula which is intersphincteric. The length of deposit is 6 o clock and size is 1.4 cms I have been advised for laser treatment. Now my concern is whether should I go for this laser treatment or should I look for traditional treatment in which they use some thread to fix the issue. I am really scared of pain if laser rearmament is done and too much blood loss. I get anxiety when I come to know that I will have to go though this else there would be more branches in near future. Will image to be on complete nee test after laser surgery ? Can you pls advise pros and cons of having laser treatment over traditional treatment.

Traditional treatment has many disadvantages like infections and recurrences which are minimal in laser. The chances of bleeding are very minimal in laser treatment. Better to go with laser treatment in a good set up and an experienced surgeon

Simple fistulectomy will suffice Laser has its own advantages but in your case traditional would be better

Hi You have small (Low) intersphincteric fistula. I would recommend you to go for traditional Fistulectomy surgery. Laser has high chances of recurrence no matter what experience doctor has! This is what’s literature tells.
