Fistula Care

Dr. Rashmi Gupta offers specialised care for anal fistulas, focusing on complete healing, infection control, and preventing recurrence through accurate diagnosis and advanced surgical methods.

What It Is

An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel between the anal canal and the skin near the anus. It typically develops due to infection in anal glands and causes pain, swelling, or discharge.

Procedure

Evaluation includes physical examination and imaging such as MRI fistulogram for complex cases. Dr. Rashmi Gupta chooses appropriate surgical techniques such as fistulotomy, seton placement, or other sphincter-saving procedures to ensure safe and complete healing.

Treatment / Management

Management focuses on removing the infected tract, treating underlying infection, and preserving anal muscle function. Post-treatment care includes wound care, antibiotics if required, and follow-up visits to monitor healing and prevent recurrence.
