Laser fistula treatment
Fistulas in the anal cavity nearly always need surgical intervention to heal since they are not self-healing. A laser surgery treatment for fistula is the most effective method of treating anal fistulas. It is performed under general or local anesthesia. As soon as the anesthesia takes effect, the surgeon inserts a laser probe into the opening of the fistula and activates it to ablate the affected tissues. If your doctor advises otherwise, you will be discharged the same day from your surgeon after laser surgery for fistula.
It takes 30-45 days to fully recover from anal fistula surgery. However, you will be able to return to your daily activities after resting for 1 or 2 days.
What after the surgery :
After laser fistula treatment patients are advised to keep the following considerations in mind :
