Fistula Laser Surgery: Advanced Treatment for Faster Recovery at Mukat Hospital
Fistulas are abnormal passages that form between two body parts, such as an organ and the skin, or between two organs, often causing pain, discharge, and other complications. Commonly, fistulas occur near the anus, known as anal fistulas, but they can also develop in other areas, like the digestive tract. Traditional fistula treatments can be invasive and involve lengthy recovery times. However, recent advances in laser technology have introduced a minimally invasive alternative known as fistula laser surgery for anal fistulas. This cutting-edge procedure is now available at Mukat Hospital in Chandigarh, offering patients an effective solution with quicker recovery and less discomfort.
What Causes Fistulas, and Why Treat Them?
Fistulas can develop for various reasons, including infections, inflammation, trauma, or complications from surgeries or medical conditions such as Crohn’s disease or diverticulitis. Anal fistulas, the most common type, usually result from abscesses or infections near the anus that don’t heal correctly, leaving an abnormal tract. Symptoms of a fistula often include pain, swelling, irritation, and sometimes pus or foul-smelling blood discharge. In severe cases, untreated fistulas can lead to chronic infections and complications, underscoring the importance of timely treatment.
Understanding Fistula Laser Surgery
Laser surgery for fistula treatment is a groundbreaking technique that addresses the fistula with precision and minimal tissue disruption. Unlike traditional surgery, which often involves significant incisions and can result in longer recovery times, fistula laser surgery uses controlled laser energy to seal the fistula tract from the inside. This innovative approach minimizes damage to surrounding tissue, reduces the risk of infection, and promotes faster, more comfortable recovery.
Benefits of Fistula Laser Surgery at Mukat Hospital
Choosing fistula laser surgery at Mukat Hospital comes with numerous advantages:
- Minimally Invasive Procedure: Laser surgery requires only a small incision, minimizing tissue trauma and damage to adjacent sphincter. Patients experience less bleeding, scarring, and postoperative pain compared to traditional surgical methods.
- Enhanced Comfort and Reduced Pain: With fewer and smaller incisions, fistula laser surgery minimizes discomfort and the need for pain medication after the procedure, allowing patients to return to their routines faster.
- Faster Recovery Time: Due to its minimally invasive nature, fistula laser surgery reduces the recovery period significantly, enabling patients to return to daily activities within days instead of weeks.
- Lower Risk of Infection: Traditional surgeries often involve open wounds, which can increase the risk of infection. The controlled, precise application of the laser reduces the chance of post-surgical infection and promotes healthier, cleaner healing.
- High Success and Low Recurrence Rates: Laser surgery is associated with high success rates and low recurrence rates, providing patients with long-term relief and greater peace of mind.

The Fistula Laser Surgery Procedure: What to Expect
If fistula laser surgery is determined to be the best option, the procedure typically involves a few key steps:
- Preparation and Anesthesia: The surgery begins with the administration of local or regional anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. This type of anesthesia allows patients to remain comfortable during the procedure without the need for full sedation.
- Laser Application: Using a specialized laser probe, the surgeon carefully treats the fistula tract from the inside. The laser’s controlled energy gently seals the abnormal channel without harming surrounding tissue.
- Short Procedure Time and Outpatient Care: The entire procedure is usually completed within a short time frame, and most patients can go home the same day or the next day(depending upon patient). This outpatient approach minimizes the disruption to patients’ lives, allowing them to recover comfortably in their own homes. No major dressing required in post-op period.
Post-Surgery Care and Recovery
Following the procedure, most patients experience mild soreness or discomfort that typically subsides within a few days. Mukat Hospital’s team provides detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and ensure the best possible outcome. These recommendations may include guidance on maintaining hygiene, avoiding constipation, avoiding certain activities, and monitoring for any signs of infection.
Patients can typically return to their regular activities within a few days, although strenuous activity should be avoided for a short period to allow full healing. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to monitor progress and ensure the fistula has healed completely.
