LASER FISTULA TREATMENT

Laser energy is delivered, by optical fiber, into the anal fistula tract and is used to thermally ablate and close of the abnormal pathway. The laser energy induces destruction of the fistula epithelium and simultaneous obliteration of the remaining fistula tract by a shrinkage effect. The epithealialized tissue is being destroyed in a controlled way and the fistula tract collapses to a very high degree. This also supports and accelerates the healing process.

Advantage of using diode laser using radial fiber compared to conventional surgery is, it gives good control to operator, also allows use in convoluted tract. Surgical procedure can be executed in only a few minutes.
