Laser Ablation of Fistula in Ano
Laser ablation of fistula in ano is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a laser to treat anal fistulas. An anal fistula is a small channel that develops between the end of the bowel and the skin near the anus. The channel may be the result of an infection or abscess that has not healed properly.
During the laser ablation procedure, the surgeon uses a laser to remove the tissue surrounding the fistula. The laser energy is used to seal the channel and destroy any remaining infected tissue. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and can be completed in an outpatient setting.
Benefits of laser ablation of fistula in ano include less postoperative pain and faster healing compared to traditional surgical techniques. However, not all fistulas are suitable for this procedure and it is important to consult with a qualified surgeon to determine the best treatment approach for each individual case.
