What does anal fistula treatment method have?

Anal fistula is part of the spectrum of perianal sepsis. It is a chronic disease that may appear ab initio or after acute perianorectal abscess. Anal fistula caused by a variety of long-term or intermittent symptoms, including pain, secretions. The goal of management is to eradicate fistulas, prevent recurrence, and maintain control.

The operation can be performed in more than one stage. If a large number of muscles have to be cut off, the operation may need to be repeated. For example, the surgeon can cut the flap into the anterior wall of the rectum to remove the internal opening of the fistula, and then suture the flap to restore anorectal 2. This is usually to reduce the amount of sphincter to be cut.

Anal fistula treatment attempts to have little effect on the sphincter, the better the prognosis. It usually depends on the location and complexity of the fistula, as well as the strength of the patient's sphincter. Surgeons first explore finding the internal orifice of the fistula. The fistula is cut and scraped off. A more complex fistula, such as horseshoe fistula, needs more precise treatment

matters needing attention

Simple anal fistula can be easily treated, but in complex cases it may take several months of long-term treatment. In some cases, treatment can lead to stomatal formation or incontinence, which has a profound impact on the quality of life of patients.
