Anal Fistula Treatment at Siyaram Hospital

What is an Anal Fistula?

An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel connecting the inside of the anus to the skin surrounding it. This painful condition is often the result of an untreated anal abscess. At Siyaram Hospital, our surgeons specialize in treating both simple and complex fistulas with advanced techniques to ensure long-term healing and relief.

Common Symptoms

  • Persistent pain around the anus, worsened while sitting
  • Redness, swelling, or tenderness near the anal region
  • Discharge of pus or blood from an opening near the anus
  • Discomfort during bowel movements
  • Fever or general fatigue in severe cases

How We Diagnose Anal Fistulas

Our team begins with a physical examination and may perform a digital rectal exam. To identify the exact tract and rule out underlying conditions, tests like MRI, ultrasound, or colonoscopy may be advised. We also evaluate for causes such as Crohn’s disease, tuberculosis, or sexually transmitted infections when needed.

Treatment Options at Siyaram Hospital

Fistulotomy

The most common procedure. The fistula tract is surgically opened and cleaned, healing into a flat scar within 6–8 weeks.

Seton Placement

A medical thread is placed to drain the fistula gradually. Ideal for complex or high-risk fistulas to preserve sphincter function.

Advancement Flap Surgery

Used for complex cases. A healthy tissue flap covers the internal opening after removing the fistula. Success rate is around 70%.

Fibrin Glue / Bioprosthetic Plug

Non-surgical alternatives involving glue or a bio-plug to seal the tract. Suitable for mild cases but with limited long-term results.

Post-Operative Care

After surgery, patients are given pain relief medications and recovery instructions. Most people resume normal activity within days. Wounds typically heal in 4–6 weeks. Our nursing team ensures proper dressing and hygiene. Stool softeners and a fiber-rich diet are recommended for smoother recovery.

When to Seek Immediate Help

  • Heavy rectal bleeding
  • Increased pain or swelling after surgery
  • High fever or chills
  • Difficulty urinating or severe constipation
  • Signs of infection at the surgical site
