Fistula Laser Treatment is a modern minimally invasive procedure used to treat an anal fistula using advanced laser technology. An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel that develops between the anal canal and the skin near the anus, often resulting from an infection or abscess.

The treatment uses laser energy to close and destroy the fistula tract with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. Compared to conventional surgery, laser treatment offers less pain, minimal bleeding, faster healing, reduced risk of complications, and quicker recovery.

• Anal abscess that does not heal properly
• Chronic infections in the anal glands
• Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease)
• Trauma or injury near the anal area
• Complications from previous anorectal surgery
• Weakened immune system

Early treatment of abscesses can help prevent fistula formation.

Without timely evaluation, some conditions can worsen, recur, or lead to avoidable complications. The exact risks depend on the diagnosis and treatment delay.

• Persistent symptoms and reduced quality of life
• Progression of the disease or local complication
• Need for more advanced treatment if ignored
• Repeated hospital visits, infection, bleeding, or pain flare-ups in selected cases

Do not wait for symptoms to become severe. Specialist review is recommended when symptoms are persistent, recurrent, or worsening.

• Symptoms continue despite basic care for a few days
• Frequent recurrence or worsening symptom pattern
• New pain, swelling, fever, bleeding, or reduced activity tolerance
• Need for second opinion before deciding procedure or surgery

• Medical history and physical examination
• Inspection of external opening and discharge
• Digital rectal examination
• Proctoscopy or anoscopy
• MRI or ultrasound for complex fistula cases

Proper diagnosis helps in identifying the type and complexity of fistula.

• Antibiotics for infection control (temporary relief)
• Fistulotomy (traditional surgical method)
• Seton placement for complex fistulas
• LIFT procedure (Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract)
• Fistula Laser Treatment (minimally invasive option)

Laser treatment is preferred for faster recovery and minimal complications.

• Initial consultation and evaluation
• Diagnosis confirmation using imaging or examination
• Administration of anesthesia
• Insertion of laser fiber into fistula tract
• Laser energy used to seal and close the tract
• Minimal damage to surrounding tissues
• Short recovery observation period
• Same-day discharge in most cases

The expected benefits depend on the diagnosis and treatment chosen, but the usual goals are symptom control, better function, and lower risk of recurrence or progression.

• Relief from symptoms and better day-to-day comfort
• Improved function and mobility where relevant
• Reduced risk of progression and associated complications
• Specialist-guided long-term care pathway
• Faster recovery options in selected minimally invasive cases

• Take prescribed medications regularly
• Maintain proper hygiene of the anal area
• Consume high-fiber diet and stay hydrated
• Avoid constipation and straining
• Take sitz baths if recommended
• Avoid heavy physical activities for a few days
• Attend follow-up visits

Proper aftercare helps in faster healing and reduces recurrence risk.
