An anal fistula is a tunnel between the anal skin and the rectum, which is usually due to an untreated abscess.
Laser surgery is the least invasive and is done under local or general anesthesia and the pain is minimal.
The majority of patients resume normal functioning after 1-2 weeks, depending on the complexity of fistulas.
There are not so many complications, but they can be infection or slow healing. The risks are minimized by laser treatment.
A Seton is a temporary thread that is inserted to stimulate drainage in complex fistulas and then closed permanently.
Laser closure is highly effective at reducing recurrence rates, though follow-up is necessary to achieve long-term outcomes.
