Surgical Repair of Perianal Fistulas is a critical procedure aimed at closing fistula tracts to prevent infection and restore normal function. These repairs are tailored to the complexity and location of the fistula.
Techniques include advancement flap surgery, where healthy tissue is used to close the fistula opening, and fibrin glue injection, a minimally invasive option for sealing the tract. Seton placement may also be used for draining abscesses and preparing the fistula for definitive repair.
Postoperative care focuses on maintaining hygiene, managing pain, and following dietary recommendations to prevent strain during bowel movements. Regular follow-ups ensure successful healing and monitor for potential recurrences.
Patients benefit from surgical repair of perianal fistulas as it provides long-term relief and prevents complications. These effective interventions improve quality of life and reduce the need for repeat procedures.
