Fistulotomy

Fistulotomy

Fistulotomy is a surgical procedure primarily utilized in the treatment of anal fistulas. An anal fistula is an abnormal tract or tunnel that develops between the anal canal and the skin near the anus, often resulting from an infected anal gland. It causes discomfort, pain, and recurrent infections. During a fistulotomy, the surgeon carefully incises the entire length of the fistula tract, effectively opening and draining it. This procedure aims to remove the infected tissue, allowing the fistula to heal properly. The surgery is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity and location of the fistula. Post-surgery, patients might experience mild discomfort, swelling, and drainage from the surgical site. However, healing usually progresses well with proper care and hygiene. Fistulotomy is known for its high success rates in treating simple anal fistulas, offering relief from symptoms and reducing the likelihood of recurrence. Although effective, fistulotomy might not be suitable for all types of anal fistulas, especially those with complex branching or close proximity to sphincter muscles. In such cases, alternative procedures like seton placement or advancement flaps may be considered. As with any surgical intervention, potential risks and benefits should be discussed thoroughly between the patient and their healthcare provider before proceeding.
