An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel connecting the anal canal to the skin around the anus. It can cause pain, discharge, and discomfort. Dr. K. K. Trehan provides advanced and effective treatment options to ensure complete healing and prevent recurrence.
An anal fistula is a narrow tract with an internal opening inside the anal canal and an external opening on the skin near the anus. It usually develops as a result of infection or abscess in the anal region.
Common symptoms include pus or blood discharge from the opening, constant throbbing pain that may worsen while sitting, swelling, irritation, foul smell, and in some cases fever due to infection.
Anal fistulas are classified based on their path and involvement of surrounding muscles. These include intersphincteric, transsphincteric, suprasphincteric, and extrasphincteric fistulas. Proper diagnosis is essential to determine the most suitable treatment approach.
Surgery is the most effective treatment for anal fistula. Procedures include fistulotomy, where the tract is opened and allowed to heal from inside, and fistulectomy, where the fistula tract is completely removed. In some cases, a seton may be used to aid healing and prevent complications. The choice of procedure depends on the type and complexity of the fistula.
Modern techniques, including minimally invasive and laser-assisted procedures, offer improved precision, reduced pain, and faster recovery. Dr. K. K. Trehan ensures personalized treatment planning for optimal results and minimal risk of recurrence.
