Fistula Treatment
An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel that forms between the inside of the anus and the skin near it, usually resulting from an infected anal gland. Fistulas do not heal on their own and require surgical treatment. Dr. Bhavin Baria specializes in advanced laser fistula surgery in Ahmedabad.
Laser fistula treatment (FiLaC) is a minimally invasive technique that closes the fistula tract with precision, offering faster healing and excellent results.
Symptoms of Anal Fistula
- Recurrent abscess or swelling near the anus
- Discharge of pus or blood
- Pain and irritation around the anus
- Skin irritation from drainage
- Fever in case of infection
Laser Fistula Surgery
Laser treatment delivers controlled energy to seal the fistula tract while preserving the surrounding muscle, reducing the risk of incontinence. This approach offers minimal pain, faster healing, and a quick return to daily activities.
Why Treat Fistula Promptly
Untreated fistulas can lead to recurrent infections and complex tracts. Early treatment ensures simpler, more effective care.
Benefits of Fistula Treatment
- Minimally invasive laser procedure

Frequently Asked Questions
An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel connecting the anal canal to the skin around the anus, often resulting from infection or abscess formation. Surgical intervention becomes necessary when the fistula causes persistent pain, discharge, or infection that does not respond to medication or conservative care.
Typical symptoms include a small opening or tear near the anus, redness or swelling around the external opening, discharge of pus, blood, or stool from the fistula, and pain in the anal or rectal area, especially while sitting or passing stool. Persistent symptoms should be evaluated by a specialist surgeon.
Most fistulas develop from anal gland infections that lead to abscess formation. When the abscess drains, either naturally or surgically, it can create a tunnel connecting the anal canal to the skin. The involvement of sphincter muscles determines the fistula type and guides the surgical approach.
Treatment depends on complexity and includes medication to control infection and manage symptoms, open surgery using conventional methods to remove the fistula tract, and laser fistula surgery — a minimally invasive technique offering faster recovery, less pain, and lower recurrence compared to traditional surgery.
