Overview of Fistula And Anal Abscess

An anal abscess is a painful, swollen area near the anus or rectum, typically filled with pus, originating from an infected cryptoglandular gland.

Anal fistulas can stem from Crohn’s Disease, necessitating specialized Fistula Treatment in Dubai. Dr. Daniel Serralta, a dedicated Fistula Specialist Dubai, evaluates complex tracts to determine tailored therapeutic care for Crohn’s-associated disease.

An anal fistula is an abnormal epithelialized tunnel linking the anal canal to the perianal skin, arising in 50% of abscess presentations.

Surgical Options

Anal Fistula Treatment in Dubai

Non- Surgical & Surgical Treatment Preferred

Non- Surgical & Surgical Treatment

Non-Surgical Management

Non-surgical protocols for Fistula Treatment in Dubai apply almost exclusively to Crohn’s disease, utilizing targeted biologics and antibiotics to close inflamed tracts without cutting.

Surgical Intervention

Established cryptoglandular tracts require definitive Anal Fistula Surgery in Dubai. Operating resolves chronic drainage, eradicates the primary internal opening, and protects continence.

Discuss this option

Also offered, in selected cases

Fistulotomy

Fistulotomy

For many patients with simple and low fistulas, a fistulotomy is performed. During this procedure, the fistula tract is opened to remove it. The incision allows for drainage and promotes healing from the inside out.

Loose-Seton Placement

Loose-Seton Placement

A loose seton keeps the tract open to facilitate continuous sepsis drainage in high or branched tracts. It acts as an essential initial preparatory step before definitive corrective surgery is performed.

Cutting Seton Placement

Cutting Seton Placement

Historically tightened over serial visits to transect the fistula tract, this technique carries substantial risk to sphincter integrity. Consequently, it is no longer recommended in modern guidelines.

Advancement Flap Procedure

Advancement Flap Procedure

This tissue-sparing repair covers the internal fistula opening with a mobilised flap of healthy rectal mucosa. It seals complex high tracts while completely preserving underlying sphincter continuity.

LIFT Procedure

LIFT Procedure

The LIFT technique isolates and divides the infected tract within the intersphincteric space. By securely ligating the pathway outside the muscle fibers, sphincter function remains entirely intact.

Laser Fistulotomy

Laser Fistulotomy

Emitting a circumferential 360° laser beam inside the pathway photocoagulates and seals the epithelial lining. This minimally invasive option spares muscular rings and ensures an almost painless recovery.

Anal Fistula Surgery in Dubai Through VAAFT

Video-Assisted Anal Fistula Treatment (VAAFT) represents a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic technique delivering the Best Fistula Treatment in Dubai. Utilizing a specialized fistuloscope, the surgeon visualizes internal tracts and deep secondary cavities under high-definition optic guidance to cauterize them with a monopolar electrode. 

Selecting this specialized approach during Anal Fistula Treatment in Dubai ensures complete internal opening closure while eliminating the risk of fecal incontinence.
