What is Fistula Surgery?
An anal fistula is a small, abnormal tunnel that forms between the inside of the anal canal and the skin near the anus - most often after an anal abscess has drained. It causes persistent discharge, discomfort, and recurring swelling, and rarely heals on its own without surgical treatment.
At Vasavi Hospitals, our surgeons offer both Laser/VAAFT (Video-Assisted Anal Fistula Treatment) - a minimally invasive, sphincter-sparing approach ideal for complex tracts - and Conventional Fistulotomy/Fistulectomy, a proven, time-tested technique for simple, low-lying fistulas, so every patient gets the approach best suited to their condition.
Watch out for these signs
Why Ignoring a Fistula Is Risky
A fistula won't turn into an emergency overnight - but every month of delay lets the tract develop further. Here's what tends to happen when a fistula is left untreated.
Chronic Discharge & Skin Irritation
Ongoing pus or discharge keeps the surrounding skin irritated and uncomfortable, and rarely resolves without the tract itself being surgically addressed.
Repeat Abscess Formation
An untreated fistula can flare into a painful abscess again and again, each episode disrupting daily life and often needing urgent drainage.
More Complex Tract Branching
Over time, a simple fistula tract can branch into a more complex network, making eventual surgery more involved and recovery slower.
Recurring Discomfort
Untreated fistulas tend to flare up again and again - disrupting sitting, sleep and daily life, and often eroding confidence about the condition resolving on its own.
A single, discreet evaluation can tell you clearly how complex your fistula is and what to do next.

Recognizing an Anal Fistula
From mild, early-stage symptoms to signs that need prompt attention - here's what to watch for.
Early / Uncomplicated Fistula
A single, short tract close to the surface with occasional discharge or mild irritation near the anus, often following a past abscess. Usually treatable with a straightforward day-care procedure.
Common Symptoms
Persistent pus or blood-stained discharge, recurring pain and swelling near the anus, itching or skin irritation, and a small opening that keeps healing and reopening.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Fever with worsening anal pain and swelling, spreading redness, or a rapidly enlarging lump can signal an active abscess needing urgent surgical drainage before it can be treated as a fistula.
Treatment Options at Vasavi Hospitals
We offer Laser/VAAFT Fistula Surgery and Conventional Fistulotomy/Fistulectomy - both effectively treat fistulas, and the right choice depends on the tract's complexity and your surgeon's recommendation. Here's what sets each approach apart.

Your Step-by-Step Care Journey
Our surgeons perform a discreet examination and, for complex tracts, an MRI fistulogram to map the fistula precisely before recommending the right technique for your case.
Under anaesthesia, the surgeon performs either Laser/VAAFT or Conventional Fistulotomy/Fistulectomy, chosen to suit your tract's complexity. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes.
Many patients go home the same day or after one night. Pain management and clear wound-care instructions are provided before discharge.
The surgical wound often heals gradually from the inside out over several weeks. Your surgeon will guide you on sitz baths, dressing changes and follow-up visits to support complete healing.

Everything you need to know about fistula surgery in Bangalore - answered by our specialists.
An established anal fistula almost never closes on its own - the tract is lined with tissue that keeps it open, and medication alone cannot resolve it. Antibiotics may control an associated infection temporarily, but surgery (Laser/VAAFT or conventional fistulotomy/fistulectomy) is generally needed to actually close the tract and prevent recurring abscesses. Your surgeon can confirm the tract's complexity with an examination and, if needed, an MRI fistulogram.
Vasavi Hospitals in Kumaraswamy Layout, Bangalore offers both Laser/VAAFT and Conventional Fistulotomy/Fistulectomy, performed by experienced general surgeons with a dedicated day-care and short-stay recovery setup. It is a trusted choice for fistula treatment in South Bangalore.
Yes. Anal fistula surgery is covered under most health insurance plans and government schemes, including corporate group insurance, when it is medically indicated. Our dedicated insurance team checks your eligibility upfront and handles the entire cashless approval process for you.
Most fistula procedures take 30-60 minutes depending on the tract's complexity. Simple fistulas are often treated as day-care or single overnight-stay procedures, while complex or recurrent fistulas may need a slightly longer stay. Your surgeon will confirm what to expect after examining your specific case.
Laser and VAAFT (Video-Assisted Anal Fistula Treatment) are minimally invasive, sphincter-sparing techniques that generally cause less pain and allow a faster return to normal activity, especially useful for complex tracts. Conventional Fistulotomy/Fistulectomy remains a proven, effective, time-tested option, particularly for simple, low-lying fistulas. Your surgeon will recommend the best approach based on the tract's location and complexity.
Most patients resume light daily activities within a few days and desk work within a week to 10 days. Because the surgical wound often heals gradually from the inside out over several weeks, your surgeon will guide you on wound care, sitz baths and dressing changes to support complete healing.
An anal fistula is not usually an overnight emergency - but it is progressive. Ignoring ongoing discharge or discomfort can lead to repeat abscess formation, a more complex, branching tract that is harder to treat, and chronic skin irritation. Getting evaluated while the tract is still simple generally means an easier procedure and smoother recovery.
Recurrence is possible, especially with complex or branching tracts, which is why an accurate pre-surgical assessment (often including an MRI fistulogram) matters. Choosing the right technique for your specific tract - and following your surgeon's wound care and follow-up advice closely - significantly reduces the chance of the fistula returning.
