WHAT IS A FISTULA?
Although a fistula can be an abnormal connection between any two organs in the body, the anal fistula, fistula-in-ano, भगंदर, ભગંદર, is a tunnel that grows from an infected cavity from the anal canal to the opening on the perianal skin in the surrounding region.
If you have had a history of an infected cavity, sores, or ulcers towards the end of the bowel tract, it can lead to an abscess or a collection of pus. If it goes unnoticed, it can create a tunnel to drain the pus from the infected area, thus leading to a fistula.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF FISTULA?
If you are worried about having an anal fistula, look for the following symptoms:
- Recuring anal abscess
- Frequent drainage of pus
- Pain, swelling, and irritation
- Inconvenience while sitting down
- Painful and bloody bowel movements
- Fever, fatigue, and tiredness
WHY VISIT A FISTULA SPECIALIST?
Usually, an abscess is a primary reason for causing a fistula. There can be other reasons or causes of the disease:
- Sexually transmitted diseases
- Crohn’s disease
- Ulcerative colitis
- Certain types of cancer
- Radiation therapy for cancer
- Tuberculosis
- Diverticulitis
So, it is essential to visit a fistula surgeon, understand the causes behind भगंदर and seek immediate medical treatment to avoid complications such as rectal prolapse and colon cancer. Many patients avoid visiting fistula doctors and specialists because of the embarrassment associated with ભગંદર. However, if you are experiencing any symptoms of an anal fistula, you should not ignore them. Do not resort to home remedies that may alleviate the symptoms but do not treat the disease.
HOW WILL DR. JAY CHOKSHI DIAGNOSE FISTULA?
A doctor requires a detailed understanding of the fistula path for providing medical treatment. In addition to a physical exam, Dr. Jay Chokshi may recommend MRI, endoscopic ultrasound, sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy to locate the internal opening of the fistula.
WHAT IS THE BEST TREATMENT FOR ANAL FISTULA?
Dr. Jay Chokshi has experience in treating fistula with non-surgical methods. There are a few cases that do not require surgical intervention, and the fistula may heal with medication.
However, if a surgical procedure is necessary, the doctor may perform a fistulotomy to drain the fistula, clean the infected area, and stitch it back in its place for complete healing. Sometimes, the doctor may leave the infectted area open to heal naturally. It can be an outpatient surgery where you may get same-day discharge from the hospital. Usually, a fistulotomy is the best treatment for shallow fistulas.
If the fistula is deep and the fistula specialist has to cut the sphincter muscles, he may have to perform an additional sphincteroplasty. Dr. Jay Chokshi may also recommend a seton stitch to drain the pus from the fistula for several weeks.
There are many other procedures to treat fistula including advancement flap procedures (doctor uses a rectal tissue to close the opening of the fistula), fibrin glue (non-surgical method to cure fistula), collagen plug (to seal the opening), etc. If the fistula surgeon has to remove the fistula and the nearby tissue to avoid infection, it is called fistulectomy.
Depending on the location of the fistula, Dr. Chokshi may recommend laparoscopic anal fistula surgery. It is a video-assisted treatment to have a clear vision of the fistula tunnel and treat it accurately with the help of a laparoscope.
WHAT IS LASER ANAL FISTULA SURGERY?
With the advancement in medical technology, laser anal fistula surgery is more popular than ever. It is a less-invasive technique to seal the fistula opening after it is drained and cleaned thoroughly. Laser fistula surgery allows for the closure of the abnormal fistula opening with the help of laser energy that is released from a diode laser. It shrinks the tissue and ensures minimal scarring.
