Laser Surgery for Fistula at Radhika Women's Care
An anal fistula is a small tunnel that develops between the end of the bowel and the skin around the anus, often resulting in pain, swelling, and persistent discharge. If left untreated, it can lead to recurrent infections and severe discomfort. At Radhika Women’s Care, we offer advanced laser surgery for fistula, a safe, minimally invasive, and highly effective treatment option.
Our laser-assisted fistula procedure uses precision technology to remove the fistula tract with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. This results in less pain, quicker healing, and a significantly lower risk of recurrence. The surgery is performed as a daycare procedure, meaning most patients can go home the same day.
With a compassionate approach and modern infrastructure, our expert team ensures every patient receives high-quality, personalized care in a hygienic and comfortable environment.
Benefits of Fistula Laser Surgery
Laser surgery for fistula is a breakthrough treatment that offers numerous advantages over conventional methods. At Radhika Women’s Care, we use advanced laser technology to ensure safe, precise, and effective healing. Here are the key benefits:
- Minimally Invasive – No major cuts or stitches, leading to faster recovery and minimal scarring.
- Less Painful – Laser causes less trauma to surrounding tissues, significantly reducing post-operative pain.
- Quick Healing Time – Most patients heal faster compared to traditional surgery and can resume normal activities sooner.
- Daycare Procedure – The surgery is done on an outpatient basis, so patients can return home the same day.
- Reduced Risk of Recurrence – Laser precisely removes the fistula tract and seals it, lowering the chances of recurrence.
- Minimal Bleeding – The laser cauterizes blood vessels during the procedure, minimizing blood loss.
- Lower Infection Risk – Laser sterilizes the area as it works, helping prevent infections.
