Perianal Fistulectomy Surgery

What is Low Perianal Fistulectomy?

A low perianal fistula is an abnormal tunnel that forms between the anal canal and the skin around the anus. A Fistulectomy is a procedure to completely remove the fistula tract, allowing for proper healing and preventing infection. This procedure is recommended for patients experiencing:

• Persistent pain or swelling around the anus.
• Recurrent anal abscesses or pus drainage.
• Discomfort or irritation in the perianal area.
• Failure of previous treatments or recurring fistula formation.

How is the Procedure Performed?

• A small incision is made along the fistula tract to remove it completely.
• The area is cleaned and sutured or left open to heal naturally, depending on the case.
• The procedure is performed under local, spinal, or general anesthesia, and most patients recover within a few days with proper post-operative care.
