Here we offer an overview of each type of fistula treatment procedure and their costs in Bangalore.

1. Fistulotomy

Anal fistula is the most common type of surgery. The full length of the fistula must be cut to open, so that it heals as a flat scar.

The most successful treatment for a large number of anal fistulas is fistulotomy, it is typically suited mainly for fistulas that don't pass through numerous sphincter muscles, to avoid risk of incontinence.

If the risk of incontinence is considered too great, a different technique might be advised.

2.                   Seton techniques

The surgeon may first recommend the insertion of a seton if your fistula goes through a significant portion of anal sphincter muscle. A seton is a thread left for a number of weeks in the fistula to keep it open. This allows it to drain and heal while preventing the need to cut the muscles of the sphincter. Loose setons can drain fistulas, but don't heal them.  Tighter setons can be utilised to slowly cut the fistula in order to cure a fistula.

3.                   Advancement flap procedure

If  the fistulapass through anal sphincter muscles a fistulotomy has a high risk of producing incontinence,  an advancement flap surgery might be suggested. This means the fistula is cut out and covers the hole where it entered the bowel with a tissue flap within the rectum.

4.                   LIFT procedure

The LIFT procedure ligation is a treatment for fistulas that crosses the anal sphincter muscles in which a fistulotomy is too risky.. The skin over the fistulas is cut and the sphincter muscles are removed during treatment. The fistula is then sealed and cut open to lie flat at both ends.

So far, this procedure has made some great results, but it has been around only for a few years, so further research is required to see how well this procedure works.
