Anal Fistula Treatment
An anal fistula (fistula-in-ano) is an abnormal tunnel connecting an infected internal anal gland to an opening on the skin around the anus. Patients suffer from recurrent foul-smelling pus discharge, blood staining on undergarments, swelling, and painful boils that rupture and drain repeatedly.
Dr. Majethiya Jalpesh specializes in advanced sphincter-preserving technologies, including FiLaC (Fistula-tract Laser Closure) and VAAFT. Laser energy seals the entire fistula tract from the inside while preserving 100% of the anal sphincter muscles, eliminating the risk of incontinence and painful dressing.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Antibiotics can temporarily reduce bacterial pus, but the epithelialized tunnel remains. A fistula never permanently heals without definitive procedural closure.
A flexible radial-emitting laser fiber is inserted along the fistula tract. As it is withdrawn, controlled laser energy photocoagulates and collapses the tunnel wall without cutting any anal sphincter muscles.
Anal sphincter muscles control gas and stool continence. Traditional open cutting (fistulotomy) can damage these muscles, whereas laser FiLaC protects them completely.
No! Because laser treatment does not create wide open wounds, there is no need for painful daily gauze dressings inside the perianal area.
