Removal of anal fistula in Kharkov

Fistula or anal fistula is an intestinal abnormality when a through tubular communication is formed between the intestine and the external tissues near the anus. The fistula excretes blood, ichor, pus, feces, and intestinal contents, causing constant inflammation of the affected area and significantly worsening the patient's quality of life.

An anal fistula is a common disease in proctology, found in 20% of patients. Treatment of the fistula is associated with certain difficulties: the classical removal of the fistula requires dissection of the muscles in the anal area, which can later lead to a weakening of the sphincter and the incontinence of fecal masses.

Therefore, ON Clinic Kharkiv medical center applies an innovative technique of minimally invasive surgery - treatment with the help of the Austrian instrument - FiXcision. This avoids damage to the surrounding soft tissues, minimizes the risks to the patient's health and allows refusing the hospitalization of the patient. The procedure takes no more than half an hour and does not require refusing the usual way of life.
What is anal fistula?

The anal fistula is a tubular canal connecting the adjacent abdominal organs, which is caused by chronic inflammation of the rectum.

Proctologists distinguish several types of fistula:

  • complete - the fistula has both an inlet and an outlet, i.e. it directly connects the intestine to the skin near the anus, in the perineum, on the buttock;
  • incomplete - with only one (inner) hole. However, incomplete fistula gradually transforms into a complete.
  • The pathology is also divided by the number of channels into simple and complex.

The anal fistula symptoms are as follows:

  • pain in the affected area;
  • discharged pus, blood, lymph, feces from the fistula. If the hole is incomplete, then the accumulated contents exert constant pressure near the anus;
  • irritation and redness of the skin near the hole;
  • fever and chills.

Fistula causes constant inflammation of surrounding tissues, creates a favorable environment for the development of pathogenic microorganisms. Its effective treatment requires a prompt visit to the proctology unit in ON Clinic Kharkiv medical center.
How is anal fistula removed?

The proctologist chooses the method of treatment subject to the state of health, the general condition of the patient and the type of fistula. Minimally invasive surgery with a FiXcision disposable instrument is optimal for the treatment of anal fistulas.

Thanks to the well-elaborated design, it performs three manipulations at once:

  • intubation of the anal fistula;
  • compression of tissues;
  • removal of the fistula with a circular blade.
  • This reduces the treatment procedure to a maximum of 30 minutes and practically does not injure the tissue.

Other advantages of the procedure:

  • the possibility of local anesthesia;
  • rapid healing of postoperative wounds;
  • rapid rehabilitation;
  • no need for hospitalization.

Immediately after treatment, the patients can continue their usual way of life with minor restrictions: they should refrain from physical exertion and visits to the bath or sauna until the tissues are completely healed (about two weeks). There is no great discomfort or pain during recovery but, if necessary, the proctologist prescribes anesthetics. Excised tissues can be sent for histological studies by a doctor’s decision.

The proctologist monitors the treatment of anal fistula until the patient is fully recovered. The technique, widely applied in Europe, is now available in Ukraine (both technically and financially). To find out the details of the procedure and make an appointment with the proctology please call ON Clinic Kharkiv medical center.
