Anal Fistula Surgery

Personalised surgical treatment that protects bowel function

An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel between the anal canal and the skin near the anus. It often develops following an abscess and rarely heals permanently without treatment.

Several surgical procedures are available. The recommended approach depends on the fistula’s position, complexity and relationship with the anal sphincter muscles responsible for bowel control.

Treatment may include fistulotomy, placement of a seton or another sphincter-preserving technique. Your surgeon will carefully balance the aim of treating the fistula with the importance of protecting continence.
