TREATMENT

Advanced Anal Fistula Treatment in Hyderabad

Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda provides personalized Anal Fistula treatment in Hyderabad based on the location, complexity, and severity of the fistula. The primary goal is to eliminate the infection, close the fistula tract completely, preserve anal sphincter function, and minimize the risk of recurrence.

Medical Management

During active infection, medications and antibiotics may be prescribed to control inflammation and reduce infection before planning definitive treatment. However, medication alone cannot cure an anal fistula.

Drainage of Anal Abscess

If an abscess is present, it is treated by draining the accumulated pus. This relieves pain, controls infection, and prepares the area for definitive fistula treatment.

Minimally Invasive Laser Anal Fistula Treatment

Laser treatment is an advanced minimally invasive procedure that closes the fistula tract from within while preserving the surrounding muscles. It offers less pain, minimal bleeding, quicker healing, shorter hospital stay, and an early return to daily activities.

Fistulotomy or Advanced Fistula Surgery

For simple fistulas, a fistulotomy may be performed to open and heal the fistula tract. Complex fistulas may require advanced sphincter-preserving procedures to achieve complete healing while maintaining normal bowel control.

Long-Term Follow-Up Care

Regular follow-up is essential to monitor healing, prevent recurrence, and ensure complete recovery. Patients also receive dietary guidance, wound care advice, and lifestyle recommendations for better long-term outcomes.
