Laser FILAC fistula surgery in Vizag & across India. Sphincter-preserving, no stitches, faster healing.
An anal fistula is a small tunnel that forms between the end of the bowel and the skin near the anus. It typically develops after an anal abscess that has either burst or been drained but failed to heal completely. Fistulas cause persistent pain, discharge, and recurrent infections if left untreated.
SurgiKure's proctologists use FILAC (Fistula-tract Laser Closure) — the most advanced technique — which seals the fistula from inside using laser energy, without cutting the sphincter muscles. This preserves continence and results in faster healing.
Passes through a small part of the sphincter muscle. Low risk. Treated effectively with laser surgery (FILAC) or fistulotomy.
Involves more sphincter muscle or has multiple tracts. Requires advanced FILAC or LIFT procedure with sphincter preservation.
Fistula that has returned after prior treatment. Requires specialist assessment and advanced laser ablation with careful muscle preservation.
Gold standard. A laser probe is inserted into the fistula tract and the lining is ablated from inside. No cutting, no stitches, minimal pain, sphincter muscles completely preserved. Walk out the same day.
The fistula tract is surgically laid open to heal from the inside out. Effective for simple low fistulas. Short hospital stay and quick recovery.
Ligation of the Intersphincteric Fistula Tract. The tract is tied off between the sphincter muscles. Good continence preservation with low recurrence rates.
A surgical thread is placed through the fistula to gradually drain or cut through the tract. Used for complex or high fistulas requiring staged treatment.
