FiLaC: Sphincter-Saving Laser Fistula Surgery
An anal fistula (fistula-in-ano) is a small tunnel connecting an infected gland inside the anal canal to an opening on the skin around the anus. It causes chronic pus discharge, bleeding, swelling, and severe pain. Traditional surgical methods (fistulotomy) involve cutting open the muscle overlying the tunnel. If the tunnel crosses the anal sphincter muscles, this cut can damage them, leading to permanent fecal incontinence.
Fortunately, **laser fistula treatment (FiLaC) in Hitec City, Hyderabad** offers a sphincter-saving alternative. Dr. G. R. Mallikarjuna utilizes precise radial laser fibers at Yashoda Hospitals to seal the tract from within, destroying the infected tissue and closing the tunnel without cutting any muscle.
Why FiLaC is the Preferred Choice
- Saves the Anal Sphincter: Zero risk of muscle damage or fecal incontinence.
- Minimal Wound Care: No large open wounds to clean or pack daily.
- Rapid Healing: Laser energy seals and disinfects the tissue, accelerating recovery.
- Daycare Procedure: Minimal hospital stay, with discharge on the same day.

Patient Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
For simple and moderate fistulas, laser closure has a success rate of over 80–85%. For complex, recurrent cases, it can be combined with other sphincter-saving procedures like LIFT to achieve optimal results.
Because there is no surgical cutting of the skin or muscle, post-operative pain is extremely mild compared to traditional surgeries. Most patients require only basic oral pain relievers for a few days.
