A simple
answer is "yes" but this does come with some terms and conditions as
this completely depends upon the severity of the disease that whether a surgery
is required or not. The best person to judge if a surgery is required or not is
the doctor itself.
Just
remember that the treatment of fistula is dependent upon many factors. The
major factors have been mentioned in order to give you clarity about all the
things. The major factors are:
● Position
of fistula
● If
it’s a single channel fistula
● If
it has many branches in different directions
The best
treatment for the fistula would be told by the doctor itself once the doctor
has completely examined the position and the severity of the Fistula so you
should not worry about the same. Rely on the doctor for the same.
If your
doctor suggests that surgery is not required then also there is nothing to
worry about because there are lots of risks involved in the surgery and in
order to avoid those risks as far as possible, the doctor might not go for it.
And the biggest reason why surgery is avoided is because of the sphincter muscles
might damage the bowel control!
Don’t be of
the opinion that there is no other treatment procedure other than surgery.
There are many other safe options that are available. So now you must be
thinking that what are those options, thereby we have made a list of the
options that are available other than surgery.
You can go
through them just for the information but remember that the final decision will
be taken by the doctor only.

Laser
Treatment (Advanced)
In this new
era, technology, and medical science go hand in hands and thus we have come up
with the solution that the advanced laser treatment is the best treatment for Fistula
to be treated without surgery.
A laser beam
is being used to seal fistula. It is also the fastest and the most effective
treatment as in some cases, there is no need of the patients to be hospitalized
and they might go back home the same day.
·
Endoscopic
Ablation
The second
best treatment which is available to seal the fistula is the endoscopic
ablation. It is being done in the case where there is no need of a surgery to
be done in Fistula.
A tube is
being entered into the body along with the camera and with the help of that,
the Fistula is being sealed and treated. It is also one of the most safest way
of treating fistula.
·
Seton
Procedure
It is the
third and the most important step of treating fistula. A doctor might recommend
inserting Fistula if in case there is no need of a surgery and if it is
required to do so. It is the most used alternative of surgery in the fistula.
It is being
used if in any case, fistula is passing through a portion of the sphincter muscle.
In that case, it is required that the fistula should be left open for some
weeks and in such cases, the seton is being used. It is useful in keeping the fistula
open till the time it is required.
It is really
helpful in healing the fistula but also at the same time it should be
remembered that it will only help in draining Fistula and not in curing it. In
order to cure it, the surgeons will have to use tighten Setons so that it can
be cured by cutting out through the fistula.
It is a long
process so the best option is to contact the doctor and let him or her decide
that what is the best option for you and how it should be treated and taken
forward.

Advanced
Flap Technique
It is the
second kind of surgery treatment for fistula. You have to understand that it is
being used when the Fistula is getting so much complicated that it is harming
the sphincter muscles.
But this
particular procedure cuts and scrapes out the fistula. Don’t think that the
hole is not being covered; it would be covered with the tissue flap later on.
It would be done so that there is no risk involved in the same and everything
goes smoothly.
As it has
already been mentioned that this particular procedure does require surgery. So
let the doctor decide that whether this procedure is being required or not
because it is a complicated procedure and thus the doctor should be the best
judge of the same.
A proper
coordination amongst the patient and the doctor is extremely important so that
nothing should go wrong and everyone is aware of the fact that what is going to
happen next in the course of action.
