Fistula Surgery

Laser FiLaC

Fistula-tract Laser Closure (FiLaC) uses a radial-emitting laser fiber to destroy the fistula tract from within while preserving the surrounding sphincter muscle. This minimally invasive technique offers excellent continence preservation with healing rates exceeding 70 percent for complex fistulas. Dr. Adarsh offers this treatment at his practice in Bangalore.

About Laser FiLaC

Laser fistula treatment (FiLaC — Fistula Laser Closure) uses a radial-emitting laser fiber inserted into the fistula tract to destroy the epithelial lining and cause controlled shrinkage and closure. This sphincter-preserving technique is ideal for patients with complex fistulas or those at risk of incontinence from conventional surgery.
