Current Treatments: What You Should Know
Recognized Procedures & Innovations
- Fistulotomy – Ideal for simple fistulas, this involves unroofing the fistula tract, promoting healing from the base upward.
- Seton Drainage – Used especially in complex fistulas, a seton helps maintain drainage and prepare tissue for definitive repair.
- LIFT (Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract) – A sphincter-preserving technique with high early success rates.
- Fibrin Glue & Fistula Plugs – Less invasive options, particularly for delicate fistula tracts—though long-term efficacy varies.
- DLPL (Distal Laser Proximal Ligation) – A newer, sphincter-saving laser method showing impressive healing rates (~99%), with continence preserved.
- Combined Approaches (Fistulotomy + Biomaterial Plugging) – Latest research suggests enhanced healing and minimal recurrence using these advanced combinations
