Laser Fistula Treatment
Laser fistula treatment (FiLaC – Fistula-tract Laser Closure) is a sphincter-preserving, minimally invasive procedure for treating anal fistulas. It uses laser energy to close and destroy the fistula tract without damaging the surrounding sphincter muscles, ensuring continence and rapid recovery.
What Is an Anal Fistula?
An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel that forms between the inside of the anal canal and the skin around the anus. It usually develops as a result of a previous anal abscess. The fistula causes persistent discharge, pain, and recurrent infections if left untreated.
Common Symptoms
- Persistent discharge of pus or blood near the anus
- Pain and swelling around the anal area
- Skin irritation and itching
- Recurrent anal abscesses
- Fever and general discomfort
- Difficulty sitting comfortably
Laser Fistula Procedure (FiLaC)
In FiLaC, a radial laser fibre is inserted into the fistula tract. The laser energy is delivered along the entire length of the tract, destroying the fistula lining and promoting closure. The procedure preserves the sphincter muscles, reducing the risk of incontinence.
