10 Side Effects of Fistula Operation | Proctocure


Anal Fistula does not do go away with antibiotics. The only treatment is surgery to repair your anorectal tissues. The aim of the surgery is to either close the fistula channel or remove it. Of course there are various surgical ways to treat anal fistula. Therefore, you must consider all treatment options and choose the treatment with no side-effects and high success rate. Failing to choose the right method to treatment can lead to certain side effects.

There are two ways to treat fistula – open surgery and laser surgery. Nowadays, laser surgery is preferable over open traditional surgery to treat fistula. There are side-effects of open surgery.

10 side effects of fistula operation.

  • Long incision to treat fistula 
    The surgeon makes a lengthy incision to cut open the fistula tract and remove infectious material in open surgery for fistula. The wound is laid open and has to be left to heal from inside out. It cannot be sutured. Hence is very painful and time consuming. Regular and repeated dressings are very painful and uncomfortable.

  • Incontinence of the bowels  :
    The anal sphincter muscles may be damaged as a result of anal fistula surgery. These sphincter muscles tighten around the anus in order to control bowel motions. When muscles are damaged, their strength is impaired. Incontinence results as a result of this.

  • Infection :
    The risk of infection is always present in any surgery, more so in a fistula surgery because of its site. This can be covere/ minimised by using
    antibiotics. However it becomes necessary to use antibiotics for a very very long period until the wound is healed. And inspite of that the site of the diseases itself makes it prone to getting infected. However, instead of cutting and laying open the entire fistulae if we have used the combination technique of cutting the outer part with Laser technology and using the kshar sutra for the part involving the spinchter
    muscles (muscles controlling the passage of stool), the kshar Sutra keeps on cleaning and cutting the remaining track reducing the necessity of using antibiotics.
