An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel that forms between the inside of the anus and the skin near it, usually after an infected anal gland. Laser fistula surgery (FiLaC) seals the tract using laser energy — preserving the sphincter muscles and minimising recurrence.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, consult a specialist promptly:
Understanding the underlying causes helps in prevention and treatment:
During FiLaC (Fistula-tract Laser Closure), a thin laser fibre is inserted along the fistula tract. As the fibre is slowly pulled back, the laser energy seals the tract from within. The procedure preserves the sphincter completely and takes 30–45 minutes.
