1. What is the process for fistula surgery?
There are different methods of removal of fistula. In fistulotomy, the fistula surgeon will carefully remove the entire infected area filled with pus. Any complexity with sphincter muscle involvement will be corrected with Sphinctoplasty. In an arteriovenous fistula surgery (AV fistula), the surgeon operates through a small incision in the arm. In the Seton technique, gauze is placed over the fistula to drain over weeks.
2. What is the latest/new treatment for fistula?
Laser treatment for fistula is one of the newer treatments. It shrinks the surrounding tissue and helps to remove the fistula with fewer chances of faecal incontinence. Faecal incontinence is the leaking of stool from the rectum due to the inability to control bowel movements.
3. How long does it take to heal from a fistula surgery?
Rest for two to three weeks is recommended for the patients. The diet should include fibre-rich foods for gut health. To smoothen the bowel system, you should drink plenty of water. You can use a toilet and take a bath after the surgery. Some patients reported minor bleeding and pain for up to 2 weeks during bowel movements. Most people return to their work after one to two weeks.
4. Is Fistula Surgery painful?
Fistula surgery is nearly painless due to the administration of anaesthetics. Surgeries like fistulotomy can be performed under local anaesthesia. It only takes about an hour, and probably the patient falls asleep during the surgery with general anaesthesia. There will be minor discomfort and slight pain after surgery, eventually disappearing. Overall, fistula surgery is less painful than carrying it.
5. What are the side effects of fistula surgery?
The chances of side effects are considerably low if you are on a proper diet and under complete rest for two to three weeks. The most common postoperative side effects include surgical site infection, painful bleeding, intra-abdominal abscess, fever, chills, constipation and trouble urination. You should go for an enema if your bowel movements are not proper. In case of surgical site infection, consult your doctor immediately as possible. You can minimise trouble urination or faecal excretion by sitting in a hot tub before the excretion.

Fistula Surgeries Doctors In India
A fistula is an abscess opening around the anus. The patient may suffer pain, burning sensation or itching in the anal area. Most of the time, the underlying conditions may not be serious. But it is always better to seek guidance from a proctologist to avoid serious complications, if any.
A fistula surgeon (proctologist) is a trained physician knowing all kinds of problems associated with the anus and rectal area. An experienced proctologist performs fistula surgery. He cuts the fistula tract from the inside and lets the body heal from the inside out. The procedure is made painless or with little pain with the help of anaesthetics.
Typically, the patient is advised to rest for 2-3 weeks. Include fibre-rich food in your diet and drink plenty of water to soften the bowel movement after the surgery. Make sure to consult with your doctor in case of any post-operational complications like surgical site infection. A fistula surgery, on average, costs between 15000 INR to 1.5 lakh INR.
