Fistula

A fistula is an abnormal connection or passageway that forms between two organs, vessels, or body parts that don’t usually connect. The most common type is an anal fistula, which connects the inside of the anus or rectum to the skin around the anus.

Types of Fistula

1. Anal Fistula (Perianal Fistula):
The most common type, connecting the anal canal to the skin around the anus. Usually caused by an anal abscess or infection.

2. Arteriovenous (AV) Fistula:
An abnormal connection between an artery and a vein, commonly created surgically for dialysis patients but may also occur due to trauma or disease.

3. Rectovaginal Fistula:
An abnormal connection between the rectum and vagina, causing stool or gas to pass through the vagina.

4. Enterocutaneous Fistula:
A connection between the intestine and the skin, often caused by abdominal surgery or infections.

5. Vesicovaginal Fistula:
An abnormal connection between the bladder and the vagina, leading to continuous urine leakage.

Fistula Treatment Options

Treatment depends on the type, severity, and location of the fistula. Dr. Yashpal Singh offers the following advanced treatment options:

Medication & Infection Control:

  • Antibiotics to control infection and reduce inflammation (for mild cases or temporary relief).

Fistulotomy:

  • The most common surgery where the fistula tract is opened, cleaned, and allowed to heal naturally.

Fistulectomy:

  • Complete removal of the fistula tract to prevent recurrence.

Laser Fistula Treatment:

  • A minimally invasive, advanced procedure with less pain and faster recovery.

Seton Placement:

  • A surgical thread is placed in complex fistulas to help drain infection and slowly cut through the fistula.

Advanced Reconstructive Surgeries:

  • For complex cases like rectovaginal or vesicovaginal fistulas.
