What is Anal Fistula Surgery (Fistulatomy)?

An anal fistula is an abnormal passage from the anus to the skin outside, typically near the upper part of the anus, caused by infected anal glands. While inflammatory bowel disease-induced fistulas may heal with medical treatment, most fistulas require surgery. Treatment varies based on severity, location, and underlying cause, with surgical procedures ranging from simple to complex.

Types of Anal Fistula Treatments

Various types of fistula surgery include:

  • Video-assisted anal fistula treatment (VAAFT).
  • Fibrin plug-and-glue techniques.
  • Seton placement.
  • LIFT procedure.
  • Endorectal advancement flap.
  • Fistulotomy.
  • Fistula laser closure (FiLaC).
  • Fistulectomy surgery.

Moreover, the best treatment for fistula will be decided by the surgeon based on the severity of the fistula and the patient’s condition.

Anal Fistula: Pre-Op & Post-Op Care

Preparation for Fistula Surgery

Before surgery, a surgeon evaluates symptoms, medical history, and conducts a physical exam. Imaging tests such as MRI or endoanal ultrasound may be needed to assess fistula complexity. Patients may also need to follow a liquid diet or complete bowel prep prior to surgery.

During the procedure

Fistula removal is performed under either general or spinal anesthesia, depending on the procedure and surgeon’s preference. The patient is positioned accordingly, and an incision is made at the fistula opening to completely remove the fistula tract. Depending on complexity, the incision may be sutured closed or left open.

  • Simple fistulas: The surgeon cuts the entire tract for bottom-up healing.
  • Complex cases: Stitches placed to preserve sphincter muscle.
  • Minimally invasive options: VAAFT and FiLaC (laser treatment for fistula) use cameras or lasers for minimal incisions.

After Anal Fistula

After the procedure, the patient rests in the hospital’s recovery area and follows a liquid diet. Pain, swelling, and discomfort may occur, but the surgeon prescribes painkillers and postoperative care.

Anal fistula surgery recovery

Fistula surgery recovery time varies based on factors like patient health, surgery type, and fistula complexity. The surgical wound typically heals in a few weeks, with most resuming normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks. However, complete healing of the fistula may take several weeks to months.

Post-procedure care

Post-operative care for anal fistula surgery includes:

  • Pain management for post operative pain.
  • Warm sitz baths are advised for pain relief and wound cleanliness.
  • High-fiber diet with fluids is recommended to prevent constipation.
  • Stool softeners or laxatives may be prescribed for smooth bowel movements.
  • Rest and activity are crucial, but prolonged sitting or standing is avoided.
  • Gentle cleaning of the anal area is recommended.
  • Regular doctor appointments are necessary to monitor healing and address concerns.

FAQ's

According to the studies, fistulectomy surgery is one of the best treatments for fistula. A fistulectomy is a surgical procedure in which the fistula tract is opened and the infected tissue is removed to facilitate appropriate healing.

For anal fistulas, fibrin glue treatment has become the only non-surgical alternative. While the patient is under a general anesthetic, the surgeon will inject adhesive into the fistula. The adhesive promotes healing and aids in sealing the fistula. In addition to this, fistula treatment without surgery include lifestyle modifications, sitz or tub baths, and medications are also part of the non-surgical approaches.

No, anal fistulas are typically not harmful. They are treated through surgical procedures, medical management, and non-surgical approaches. On the other hand, if left untreated, they might result in consequences like anal cancer, fecal incontinence, infections, and sepsis.

Anal fistula might be caused by inflammatory conditions such as Crohn’s disease and diverticulitis, peri-anal abscess, anal STIs (sexually transmitted infections), traumatic or surgical injury to the anus, hidradenitis suppurativa, actinomycosis, radiation therapy to the anus, and more.

Usually, there will be little pain and mild discomfort during fistula surgery. The degree of pain experienced varies from person to person based on a number of factors, including the complexity of the fistula, the kind of anesthesia used, the type of surgery performed, and, lastly, the patient’s own pain tolerance.

Symptoms of fistula include throbbing pain near the anus, redness or itching at the anus, pus or blood on poop, fever and chills due to abscess, swelling, and more.

No, surgery is often necessary for treating anal fistulas because they generally do not heal on their own.

Yes, If the fistula tract is not treated for a longer period of time, there is a possibility of developing cancer.

Depending on the technique performed, the recovery time following surgery may differ. Generally, depending on the patient’s condition and the complexity of the fistula, the healing process takes a few days to a few weeks.
