Chat With Our Experts Types of Fistula Procedures
CARE Hospitals offers different approaches to fistula repair tailored to each patient’s specific needs:
- Fistulotomy: A simple procedure where the fistula tract is cut open and left to heal naturally
- Seton Placement: In this procedure, surgeons place a surgical thread in the fistula to gradually drain the infection while preserving sphincter function
- Advancement Flap Procedures: A tissue flap from the rectum is used to close the fistula
- LIFT (Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract) Technique: Involves carefully separation and sealing of the fistula tract between muscle layers to prevent recurrence
- Fibrin Glue Injection: This minimally invasive approach injects special medical glue to seal the fistula
- Fistula Plug Insertion: Utilises a biocompatible plug to block and heal the fistula tract over time
- Complex Reconstructive Procedures: Advanced techniques combining muscle repair and tissue grafts to treat deep or extensive fistulas
- Dialysis Fistula Surgery: In this surgery, surgeons create a direct connection between a vein and an artery to provide access
