Laser Surgery for Fistula

What is Laser Surgery for Fistula?

Laser surgery for fistula is a sphincter-saving, minimally invasive procedure in which a specialized laser fiber is passed through the fistula tract. The laser energy closes and seals the tract from inside while preserving surrounding muscles, reducing the risk of incontinence.

An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel-like connection between the anal canal and the skin around the anus, usually caused by infection or abscess. It can lead to pain, swelling, discharge, and recurrent infections. At Narayana’s Hospital, we offer advanced Laser Surgery for Anal Fistula, a minimally invasive technique that ensures faster healing with minimal discomfort.
