Endorectal Advancement Flap Surgery is a specialized procedure used to treat anal fistulas by closing the internal opening with a flap of healthy rectal tissue. This approach is particularly effective for high or recurrent fistulas that are challenging to manage with simpler techniques.

The procedure involves excising the fistula tract while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. A flap of healthy mucosa and submucosal tissue is advanced and sutured over the internal opening, creating a seal that promotes healing and prevents recurrence.

Recovery typically involves managing discomfort with pain relievers and maintaining a high-fiber diet to ensure smooth bowel movements. Regular follow-ups are essential to monitor healing and address any complications.

Patients benefit from endorectal advancement flap surgery as it offers a high success rate for complex fistulas. This technique minimizes the risk of recurrence and ensures a durable solution for challenging cases.
