Fistula Surgery: Treatment & Recovery | Mark Hospital Noida
Introduction
A fistula is a small tunnel that develops between the intestine and the skin near the back passage. It usually forms when an infection or abscess does not heal completely. Unlike piles, a fistula rarely improves with medicines alone and often needs surgical treatment. At Mark Hospital Noida, our General Surgery team provides advanced and minimally invasive fistula surgery to help patients recover quickly and comfortably.
What is a Fistula?
A fistula is an abnormal passage that connects an infected gland to the outer skin near the rectal region. Many people confuse it with piles, but a fistula is different and more complex.
Common symptoms include:
-
Swelling or pain near the back passage
-
Pus or blood discharge
-
Repeated abscesses or infections
-
Discomfort while sitting or passing stool
If these symptoms continue, it is important to consult a surgeon for timely treatment.
Causes of Fistula
-
Infections that do not heal fully
-
Untreated or recurring abscess
-
Certain digestive conditions (like Crohn’s disease, though rare)
-
Previous surgery or injury
Fistula Treatment Options
Medicines and home remedies may provide temporary relief but cannot cure a fistula permanently. Surgery is the most effective treatment. At Mark Hospital Noida, we offer:
-
Fistulotomy: Opening the tract to allow natural healing.
-
Seton Placement: Using a surgical thread to drain infection gradually.
-
Flap Surgery: Covering the opening with healthy tissue to prevent recurrence.
-
Laser Surgery (FILAC): A modern, minimally invasive option with less pain and quicker recovery.
