What you need to know about anal fistula & its treatment
Healing Hands Clinic is a certified ‘Centre of Excellence in Proctology ‘ and has successfully treated
hundreds of cases of Complex and Recurrent Fistulas.

Few medical conditions are doctors in notorious as well. One such is an abnormal connection/tract forms between the anal canal (terminal part of the intestine) and the skin of the bottom. While there is a dearth of specialists treating this ailment, proctologist of our Healing Hands clinic proclaims we have a unique way to treat it. they answer a few questions…
IS THIS CONDITION COMMON?
It is common. In fact, the incidence is same across all strata of society; anyone can suffer from it. But most people remain close mouthed until the condition aggravates to a level demanding immediate medical attention. Most anal fistulas have a dormant initial phase, and this is the perfect time to address the problem.

WHAT IF TREATMENT IS DELAYED?
An anal fistula rarely heals by itself. It can remain silent for years. Quite commonly, with time, the tract extends deeper and branches out. This stage is more difficult to treat.
DO MEDICINES HELP?
No. This is a condition where you need to physically correct the tract, either with laser or surgery. There are no medicines for this condition, and if someone claims so, its misguidance.
WHAT ARE THE TREATMENT OPTIONS?
A Simple fistula can be treated with a procedure called FiLaC (Fistula Laser Closure) in which a laser fibre is inserted into the tract which is then destroyed with photo thermal energy. In cases of Complex and Recurrent fistula, DLPL (Distal Laser Proximal Ligation) is done. This is our innovation in which laser is combined with conventional surgery to give optimum results. DLPL does not harm the anal sphincter, thus control over motions is maintained.
