Laser Treatment for Anal Fistula

Fear of doctors occurs most often in anal area diseases. Most of the time, the patient either ignores the complaints or symptoms, or "taboos" the situation due to reasons such as shame and shyness, and tries to find treatment on his own with the advice of friends or acquaintances. This can cause problems that can be easily overcome with the right medical approach to grow and treatment to become more difficult.

Assist. General Surgery Specialist. Assoc. Dr. Murat Kalaycı pointed out that anal fistula, hemorrhoids, fissure and anal abscess, which are common among anorectal diseases, are common from adulthood, regardless of men and women.“The symptoms of anal region diseases are generally similar to each other. It occurs with symptoms such as pain, discharge, swelling, itching and rectal bleeding. These common findings can lead to diseases being confused with each other, sometimes being diagnosed late because they are ignored, and treatment becoming more complicated. However, thanks to timely diagnosis, meticulous surgery, new generation energy devices and diode laser technology, it is now possible to get rid of the disease in almost minutes,” he says.

  • Shame is Harmful to Health >

Assist. stated that it is not right to use medicine by heart on the advice of a friend or acquaintance in anal area diseases. Assoc. Dr. Kalaycı said, “Regardless of the patient's disease related to the anal area; Whether it is hemorrhoids, fissures (tears, cracks in the anus area), abscess or fistula (formation of a channel between the anal canal and the skin), they can often avoid going to the doctor due to a sense of shame. In this case, their treatment may be delayed and their health may be endangered. If a person has symptoms of these diseases, it is important to be examined by a general surgeon. Because if applied on time, there is even a chance of medical treatment for hemorrhoids and anal fissure without the need for surgery. "The only treatment option for fistula and abscess is surgery," he says.

No More Fear in Anal Fistula Surgeries!

Asst. Assoc. Dr. Kalaycı said, "A new generation laser is now used in the surgical treatment of anal fistula, which patients fear due to the risk of open wounds and sphincter damage." "The procedures have become very easy and comfortable for the patient with the help of blades," he says and adds;
Anal fistula usually occurs after an abscess. A tunnel-like formation is seen with one end inside the anal canal and the other end in the skin. The type of disease and its treatment differ depending on whether the affected area contains muscle or not. If there is bloody discharge, pain, or blockage in one of the holes, swelling may occur and this may lead to an abscess; If not treated in time, it can cause serious problems. In addition, in some cases (diabetes, use of drugs that lower the immune system, etc.), early diagnosis and treatment become more important as wound healing becomes difficult.

Same Day Discharge with Diode Laser Application

The only treatment option for fistula is surgical intervention.
But now, with the new applications used in fistula surgery, fistula surgeries are less risky and much more comfortable after surgery.
The most up-to-date treatment method in fistula surgery is Diode Laser application. Asst. Assoc. Dr. Murat Kalaycı emphasizes that in traditional methods, serious surgical procedures, multiple surgery requirements, open wounds, the possibility of damage to important muscle structures and related fecal / gas incontinence complaints are possible, and gives the following information about the new generation laser application:
In recent years Thanks to Diode Laser technology, which is becoming increasingly widespread in our country, treatment is often performed in a single-stage procedure, without any open wounds. Since there is no open wound, the risk of infection is extremely low, and since no incision is made, the risk of muscle damage is eliminated. The experience of the surgeon in this regard is very important for a good result. The patient, who can return to normal life in approximately 3-4 weeks with traditional methods, is discharged on the same day with Diode Laser application. He can continue his normal life within a few days. The success rate is around 90 percent.
