Anal Fistula Surgery

The Anal Fistula Surgery Unit at Khanna Hospital offers advanced, safe, and effective treatment for patients suffering from anal fistulas and related anorectal disorders. Our goal is to eliminate infection, promote complete healing, prevent recurrence, and restore patient comfort while preserving normal bowel function and quality of life.

Anal fistula procedures at Khanna Hospital are performed by experienced general and colorectal surgeons, supported by skilled anesthetists and trained nursing staff. The hospital is equipped with modern operation theaters, advanced diagnostic facilities, and state-of-the-art surgical technologies that enable precise treatment with maximum safety, minimal discomfort, and faster recovery.

An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel that develops between the anal canal and the skin around the anus, most commonly resulting from a previous anal abscess or infection. Patients may experience persistent pain, swelling, recurrent discharge of pus or blood, irritation around the anus, foul-smelling drainage, or repeated infections. Since anal fistulas rarely heal on their own, surgical treatment is often required to achieve a permanent cure.

Every patient undergoes a comprehensive clinical evaluation, including detailed history, physical examination, and imaging studies when necessary, to accurately identify the fistula tract and determine the most suitable treatment approach. Our specialists develop personalized treatment plans based on the complexity of the fistula, its relationship to the sphincter muscles, and the patient’s overall health condition.

Khanna Hospital provides a full range of modern anal fistula treatment options, including fistulotomy, seton placement, LIFT (Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract) procedure, laser fistula treatment, fibrin glue therapy, and fistula plug techniques. The choice of procedure depends on the type and severity of the fistula, with a strong emphasis on complete healing while preserving sphincter function and maintaining bowel control.

Our approach prioritizes meticulous surgical technique, strict infection control measures, and comprehensive post-operative care. Recovery management includes pain control, wound care guidance, sitz bath recommendations, dietary counseling, hydration advice, constipation prevention strategies, and scheduled follow-up visits to monitor healing and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Patients and their families are kept fully informed about the condition, available treatment options, expected outcomes, potential risks, and recovery process with complete transparency. At Khanna Hospital, we understand the discomfort, embarrassment, and impact that anal fistulas can have on daily life, and we are committed to providing compassionate, confidential, and effective care that helps patients return to normal activities with confidence and comfort.
