Advanced Anal Fistula Surgery in Chittagong

An anal fistula is an abnormal channel between an infected part of the anal canal and perianal skin. Normally, there are various glands around the anal opening that secrete mucus and help the stool passage. However, if these openings get infected or clogged, they can form an abscess. If the abscess is left untreated or is not properly managed, it can develop into a fistula.

    Diagnosis and Treatment for Anal Fistula

    Diagnosis

    Anal fistula diagnosis is performed via physical examination. The doctor will examine the anal opening and look for the fistula tract. Once the presence of a fistula is confirmed, they will determine its depth, direction, and the number of openings. Some common diagnostic tests that can help in fistula diagnosis are:

    • Anoscopy: Anoscopy is the examination of the anal canal and rectum using an anoscope to diagnose anal and rectal conditions.
    • Ultrasound or MRI: Imaging tests like MRI and ultrasound help obtain better images of the anorectal regions without causing the patient any pain.
    • Colonoscopy: A colonoscopy is performed under light sedation or anesthesia. The scope is inserted into the colon via the anus. It is usually performed to check for swollen tissues, polyps, cancer, etc., in the large intestine.
    • Fecal occult blood tests (FOBT) and other blood tests: FOBT is performed to look for signs of blood and blood tests in the stool. Other blood tests, such as complete blood count, glucose level, etc., may be necessary for treatment as well.

    Treatment

    Anal fistulas can’t be treated through medicines, and surgery is almost always necessary for treatment. The goal of the treatment is to close the channel to avoid fecal incontinence. At Pristyn Care, you can get the following treatments for anal fistula:

    • Open fistulotomy: During the surgery, the surgeon incises the side of the fistula tract and removes the infected parts, along with the impacted blood and pus. Then the incision is stitched back, bandaged, and left to heal. Since the fistula isn’t entirely removed, damage to the anal sphincter is avoided.
    • Laser fistulotomy: Laser fistula surgery is an even less minimally invasive surgery for anal fistulas. The fistula is drained to remove blood, pus, and infected tissues. After this, a laser probe is inserted into the fistula to close the fistula tract gradually.

    Both surgeries are performed under regional anesthesia and are daycare surgeries. Book an appointment for advanced anal fistula treatment at the best fistula hospitals in Chittagong.
