Fistula in ano

An anal fistula means a small tunnel that occurs or develops between the skin near the anus and bowel (where poop leaves the body). In simple terms, they are just the result of an infection near the skin of the anus causing a collection of pus in the surrounding tissue. Most of the time it is the result of the infection in a gland that spreads to the skin whose symptoms involve swelling, pain, blood discharge, or pus from the anus.

Types of Fistulas

When there is an abnormal connection between the perennial skin and the epithelialized surface of the anal canal.

  • This is a very simple surgery, if the fistula isn’t close to the anus, then at this point your doctor will cut the muscle or skin near the anus which helps in allowing it to heal from the inside and near the anus.

  • In case of a rare or severe fistula, your doctor may put a tube (Setan) at the end or opening of the anus which helps in draining the pus or fluid which is infectious before starting the surgery.
