ABOUT THE PROCEDURE
What is Anal Fistula Surgery?
Anal Fistula Surgery is a specialized procedure performed to treat an abnormal tunnel (fistula) that develops between the anal canal and the skin around the anus. Anal fistulas commonly occur following an anal abscess and rarely heal on their own. If left untreated, they can lead to recurrent infections, persistent pain, and continuous pus discharge. Depending on the type and complexity of the fistula, procedures such as Fistulotomy, Fistulectomy, Seton Placement, LIFT (Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract), or advancement flap surgery may be performed. Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda provides personalized surgical treatment using modern techniques to achieve complete healing while protecting the anal sphincter muscles.

HOW IS THE PROCEDURE PERFORMED?
How is Anal Fistula Surgery Performed?
Anal fistula surgery is performed under anesthesia by identifying the fistula tract and treating or removing it using an appropriate surgical technique to promote healing.
Preoperative Assessment
Before surgery, Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda performs a thorough evaluation including medical history, physical examination, proctoscopic examination, and imaging studies such as MRI Fistulogram or Endoanal Ultrasound when required. This helps identify the fistula tract, internal opening, and relationship to the anal sphincter muscles.
Anesthesia
The procedure is usually performed under spinal, regional, or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the fistula and the planned surgical technique.
Surgical Procedure
The surgical approach is selected based on the type and location of the fistula. Simple fistulas are commonly treated with Fistulotomy, where the fistula tract is carefully opened to allow healing. More complex fistulas may require Seton Placement, LIFT Procedure, Fistulectomy, or advancement flap techniques to eliminate the fistula while protecting the anal sphincter muscles. The goal is complete healing with the lowest possible risk of recurrence or incontinence.
Fistula Tract Management
The fistula tract is thoroughly cleaned and treated to remove infected tissue and eliminate the source of infection. Careful attention is given to preserving healthy tissue and maintaining normal anal function throughout the procedure.
Postoperative Care
Following surgery, patients receive pain management, antibiotics when required, wound care instructions, warm sitz baths, stool softeners, and dietary guidance. Regular dressing changes and follow-up visits help ensure proper healing.
RECOVERY
Recovery After Anal Fistula Surgery
Recovery involves wound care, warm sitz baths, a high-fiber diet, adequate hydration, prescribed medications, gentle bowel movements, and regular follow-up.
01.
Hospital Stay
Most patients are discharged on the same day or within 24 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
02.
Diet
A high-fiber diet, adequate fluid intake, fruits, vegetables, and stool softeners are recommended to prevent constipation and ensure comfortable bowel movements during recovery.

Activity

04.
Follow-up
Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor wound healing, perform dressing changes if needed, evaluate recovery, and ensure complete closure of the fistula tract.
