Colorectal issues like anal fistulas can often start as mild inconveniences but may develop into very serious issues if left untreated. If you think you may be dealing with an issue like this, we recommend seeking anal fistula treatment at NYBG Colorectal as quickly as possible.

Treating Your Anal Fistulas

Anal fistulas are frequently caused by anal abscesses that are left untreated and allowed to progress into a much more serious and pressing problem. Characterized by a small tunnel that can form between the outer skin of your anal canal and its interior, an anal fistula will not heal on its own and typically requires surgery to address completely.

What Causes an Anal Fistula?

In the vast majority of cases, an anal fistula is caused by an untreated abscess. When a small pocket of infected tissue and pus develops in the area, it will grow in size if not properly addressed. When this abscess grows large enough to connect the outer skin of your anal canal and its interior, it becomes a fistula.

An anal fistula can also form as a result of complications that might arise from other issues, such as:

Crohn’s disease
Inflammatory bowel disease
Gonorrhea
Rectal cancer
Diverticulitis

Exploring Anal Fistula Treatment in New Jersey

Led by Dr. Kulvir Nandra at our New Jersey office, our team offers an advanced level of surgical excellence. You’ll be able to rest assured and look forward to exemplary results from your anal fissure surgery, as we always take care to employ the least-invasive methods possible.

Fistulotomy

This procedure is perfect for the majority of anal fistula cases and involves exposing the infection completely. This allows it to heal from the inside out, via an incision that is made to completely open the fistula. Once the infection is properly cleaned away, the wound can be cleaned and packed with a sterile substance that helps it heal as fully as possible.

Bioprosthetic Plug

Made from naturally-occurring biological tissues, this small device is shaped like a cone and will be inserted into the fistula’s internal opening. The external end of the infected fistula will be left open, enabling proper drainage and giving your tissues the opportunity to heal themselves over time. Both methods will see us scheduling follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
