Fistula Surgery

A fistula is a pathological channel that connects internal organs to the surface of the skin or two parts of the body that are not normally connected.

It most commonly appears in the anal area, but can also occur in other parts of the body as a result of infections, inflammations, or surgeries.

Fistulas cannot heal on their own and often cause pain, discharge, irritation, and recurring infections.

Surgery is the most effective way to remove a fistula and prevent the further spread of inflammation.

At Medical Time hospital, fistula surgery is performed under controlled conditions, with expert supervision and precise diagnostics.

The procedure is safe, short, and allows for a quick patient recovery.

Timely intervention prevents complications such as abscesses and damage to surrounding tissue.

Our team uses modern surgical techniques that reduce the risk of recurrence.

After the procedure, monitoring and support are provided during the healing process.

What does fistula surgery look like

Before the surgery, a consultation with a surgeon is performed, and additional diagnostics are done if necessary.

The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the fistula.

The doctor opens and cleans the fistulous channel, removes the inflamed tissue, and allows for proper healing.

In some cases, a seton thread is used to help with the controlled closure of the channel.

The surgery lasts between 30 and 60 minutes and is performed under sterile conditions.

The patient is usually discharged home on the same day or the next morning.

After the surgery, it is necessary to monitor the wounds and come for check-ups as recommended by the doctor.
