Fistula Surgery Procedures
Our verified specialists in Bangalore offer the full range of surgical and non-surgical options for 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.
LIFT Procedure
The Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract (LIFT) procedure involves identifying and ligating the fistula tract in the intersphincteric plane. This sphincter-sparing technique is particularly effective for transsphincteric fistulas and has success rates of 60-80 percent with minimal impact on continence. This procedure is available at Dr. Adarsh's clinic in Indiranagar, Bangalore.
Fistulotomy
Fistulotomy involves laying open the entire fistula tract to allow healing from the base upward. It remains the most effective treatment for simple, low intersphincteric and low transsphincteric fistulas with cure rates exceeding 95 percent. Dr. Adarsh, based in Bangalore, carefully assesses sphincter involvement before recommending this approach.
Seton Placement
A seton is a thread or rubber band placed through the fistula tract to promote drainage, control sepsis, and gradually cut through the sphincter muscle over weeks. At his practice in Bangalore, Dr. Adarsh uses cutting and draining setons as part of a staged approach for high or complex anal fistulas where immediate fistulotomy would risk incontinence.
