An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel that forms between the anal canal and the skin near the anus. It usually develops after a previous infection (abscess) that did not heal properly. Symptoms include persistent discharge, pain, swelling, and sometimes fever. Laser fistula surgery (laser fistulotomy or laser ablation) is a minimally invasive, stitchless procedure that effectively treats fistulas while preserving the anal sphincter muscles, reducing the risk of incontinence and ensuring faster recovery. At Vivekananda Hospital, Dr. Deeraj Jaliwar specialises in laser treatment for fistulas – a same‑day procedure that allows you to return to normal activities quickly. This guide covers the cost, the procedure, recovery, and everything you need to know before deciding.

📌 Quick Facts: Laser fistula surgery at Vivekananda Hospital starts at ₹45,000 (all‑inclusive). It is a day‑care procedure – you go home the same day. Recovery is 3‑5 days, with minimal pain and no stitches. Sphincter preservation ensures normal continence.

Understanding Anal Fistula

An anal fistula is an abnormal connection between the anal canal (or rectum) and the skin near the anus. It usually results from a previous perianal abscess that did not heal completely. Fistulas are classified based on their anatomy:

Intersphincteric fistula: The most common type, passes between the internal and external sphincter muscles.
Transsphincteric fistula: Passes through both sphincter muscles.
Suprasphincteric fistula: Passes above the sphincter muscles, more complex.
Extrasphincteric fistula: Very rare, often associated with inflammatory bowel disease.

Laser surgery is effective for most types, especially superficial and low‑transsphincteric fistulas. For complex fistulas, a combination of techniques may be used to ensure sphincter preservation.

Laser Fistula Surgery: How It Works

Laser fistula surgery (laser ablation or laser fistulotomy) is performed under spinal anaesthesia. A thin laser fiber is inserted through the fistula tract, and laser energy is delivered to obliterate the tract from the inside. The laser seals the tissue, promoting healing while preserving the surrounding muscles. There is no cutting or stitching, so pain is minimal, and the risk of incontinence is extremely low. The procedure takes about 30‑45 minutes, and you can walk out of the hospital the same day.
