The anal fistula is a chronic condition that occurs when an abnormal channel forms between the interior of the anal canal and the surrounding skin. It is generally a consequence of a poorly drained or inadequately treated anal abscess, leading to the persistence of a connection between these structures.

Among the most common symptoms of anal fistula are pus or fluid discharge in the perianal area, pain, redness, and recurrent inflammation. In some cases, it can cause discomfort when sitting, walking, or performing daily activities, significantly affecting the patient's quality of life.

The treatment of anal fistula is surgical in most cases, and my goal as a specialist is to offer the most suitable solution for each patient, minimizing risks and discomfort. Some of the techniques I use include:

• Fistulotomy: Involves opening the fistulous tract to allow it to close from the inside.
• Seton Placement: In complex cases, threads are used to maintain drainage and reduce the risk of damage to the anal sphincter.
• Advanced minimally invasive techniques: Such as the use of biological sealants, advancement flaps, or laser procedures, ideal for certain types of fistulas.

Each case is unique, so I conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine the most appropriate treatment, always prioritizing the preservation of anal function and the patient's well-being. If you suspect you might have an anal fistula or present compatible symptoms, I am here to offer you a professional, effective, and personalized solution.
