Fistula Surgery

Understanding Fistula Surgery

Fistula surgery is an important procedure for many patients, especially those undergoing dialysis or dealing with anal fistulas. While it may seem complex, understanding the process can help ease concerns and prepare patients for what to expect.
This guide breaks down the different types of fistula surgeries, including dialysis fistula surgery and laser treatment for fistulas. It also covers what happens before, during, and after surgery, along with symptoms and treatment options, particularly for anal fistulas.
Whether you’re a patient considering surgery, a healthcare professional, or simply looking for more information, this guide will help you understand fistula surgery in a clear and simple way.
What is a Fistula?
A fistula is an abnormal connection between two parts of the body, such as blood vessels, organs, or tissues. They can occur in different areas, but this article focuses on two main types:
  • Arteriovenous (AV) Fistula – Often created for dialysis, this connects an artery to a vein, improving blood flow for treatment.
  • Anal Fistula – A small tunnel that forms between the anal canal and the skin near the anus, often due to an infection or abscess.
Knowing the type of fistula is important because it determines the best surgical approach and recovery plan.
Types of Fistula Surgery
The type of fistula surgery depends on its location and severity. The goal is to restore normal function, relieve symptoms, and prevent complications.
Common surgical options include:
  • Traditional Open Surgery – A standard procedure where the surgeon removes or repairs the fistula through an incision.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery – Uses small incisions and advanced techniques to treat the fistula with less pain and faster recovery.
  • Laser Surgery – A modern approach that seals the fistula using laser energy, reducing damage to surrounding tissues.
