What is an Anal Fistula?
An anal fistula is an abnormal connection between the anal canal and the skin around the anus. It usually develops due to an infected gland that forms an abscess, eventually creating this tunnel. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, discharge, and discomfort during bowel movements. Without treatment, it can lead to recurring infections and complications.
Types of Anal Fistulas
- Intersphincteric fistula: Located between the internal and external anal sphincters.
- Transsphincteric fistula: Passes through the external anal sphincter.
- Suprasphincteric fistula: Extends above the external sphincter.
- Extrasphincteric fistula: Extends from the rectum to the skin.
Causes of Anal Fistula
- Often caused by bacterial infections (abscess formation)
- Conditions like Crohn’s disease or tuberculosis (chronic diseases)
- Injury to the anal area (trauma)
- Rarely occurs after surgery (surgical complications)
Identifying the cause is crucial for determining the most effective treatment approach.
Treatment options for Anal Fistula
- Fistulotomy: The most common surgical procedure where the fistula tract is opened and cleaned to heal from inside out.
- Seton Placement: A surgical thread (seton) is placed to keep the fistula open for drainage and promote healing, often used for complex fistulas.
- Advancement Flap Procedure: Involves covering the internal fistula opening with a flap of healthy tissue to promote healing while preserving the sphincter muscles.
- Fibrin Glue Injection: A minimally invasive treatment where a special glue is injected into the fistula tract to seal it.
- Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract (LIFT): A procedure that involves ligating and removing the fistula tract between sphincter muscles to preserve continence.
- Antibiotics and Medication: Used to manage infection and inflammation, usually combined with surgical treatment.
- Laser Therapy: A newer, minimally invasive option that uses laser energy to close the fistula tract and promote healing.
Each treatment is chosen based on fistula type, location, and patient condition.
Recovery Process After Anal Fistula Surgery
- Maintaining hygiene in the treated area.
- Following a fiber-rich diet to avoid strain during bowel movements.
- Regular follow-ups to monitor healing.
