What Are Fistulas and Fissures?
Before we explore how FiLaC® can help, it’s important to understand what fistulas and fissures are, and why they cause so much discomfort.
Fistulas: A Persistent Problem
A fistula is an abnormal tunnel that forms between two organs or body parts. In the case of anal fistulas, an abnormal passage develops between the anal canal and the skin surrounding the anus. Fistulas are often caused by an infection in the area that didn’t heal properly, resulting in an open wound that may drain pus, causing pain, irritation, and discomfort.
Some of the key symptoms of anal fistulas include:
- Pain or discomfort, especially while sitting or during bowel movements.
- Swelling or redness around the anus.
- Drainage of pus or blood from the affected area.
- Recurrent abscesses or infections.
Fissures: A Tear in the Skin
An anal fissure is a small tear or crack in the skin around the anus. Fissures are often caused by passing hard stools or prolonged diarrhea. The tearing can be extremely painful, especially during or after a bowel movement.
Symptoms of anal fissures include:
- Sharp pain during and after bowel movements.
- Bright red blood on the toilet paper or in the stool.
- Itching or irritation around the anus.
- Visible cracks or tears in the skin around the anus.
For many, anal fissures become a recurrent issue, leading to a cycle of pain and discomfort that is difficult to manage with over-the-counter treatments. This is where FiLaC® offers a more permanent, effective solution.
FiLaC®: The Minimally Invasive Solution for Fistulas
FiLaC® (Fistula Laser Closure) is a minimally invasive treatment for anal fistulas that uses laser technology to close the fistula tract without the need for traditional surgery. The procedure uses a laser to precisely target the fistula tissue, closing the tract and promoting natural healing. One of the main benefits of FiLaC® is that it requires no large incisions, and recovery times are much shorter compared to traditional surgical methods.
How FiLaC® Works
- Consultation and Evaluation: Before the procedure, you will meet with your healthcare provider to evaluate your condition and determine if FiLaC® is the right treatment for you. Your doctor will assess the severity of your fistula and explain the procedure in detail.
- The Laser Treatment: During the FiLaC® procedure, a laser fiber is inserted into the fistula tract. The laser emits targeted energy, which causes the fistula to shrink and close. Laser energy also stimulates collagen production, promoting the healing of surrounding tissue. This is done with minimal damage to the surrounding area, reducing the risk of complications.
- Recovery: One of the most attractive features of FiLaC® is the rapid recovery time. Unlike traditional surgery, which can require weeks of recovery, FiLaC® allows most patients to return to normal activities in just a few days. The pain is usually minimal, and patients can resume their regular routines relatively quickly.
Why Choose FiLaC® for Fistulas?
FiLaC® offers several advantages over traditional fistula surgeries. Let’s take a closer look at why this treatment is becoming the go-to solution for many individuals suffering from fistulas.
1. Faster Recovery and Less Pain
One of the main reasons patients choose FiLaC® is the shorter recovery time and less pain compared to traditional surgery. Traditional fistula surgery often requires a significant recovery period, sometimes involving extended hospital stays and a long period of rest.
FiLaC®, on the other hand, is an outpatient procedure that allows patients to recover quickly and get back to their regular activities within just a few days. Most patients report feeling little to no discomfort during and after the procedure.
2. Minimally Invasive and No Scarring
Unlike traditional surgery, which often requires large incisions and stitching, FiLaC® is minimally invasive. The laser energy targets only the fistula tissue, causing minimal damage to surrounding tissue. This precision results in no scarring and a lower risk of complications, including infection. The procedure is also less traumatic, meaning a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
3. Long-Term Relief
FiLaC® offers long-lasting relief by addressing the root cause of the fistula. The procedure effectively closes the fistula tract, which promotes healing and prevents the fistula from reoccurring. Traditional treatments often provide only temporary relief, requiring repeated procedures. FiLaC®, however, offers a permanent solution with minimal chances of recurrence.
4. Suitable for Many Patients
FiLaC® is an ideal treatment for many types of fistulas, including those that are hard to treat with conventional methods. Whether your fistula is complex or simple, FiLaC® can be tailored to meet your specific needs. Doctors consider the treatment safe for a wide range of patients and use it to treat recurrent fistulas or those that have not responded well to other treatments.
