Clinical Overview

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common concerns regarding the procedure, safety, and hospital directives:

Q: What is the FiLaC laser procedure for anal fistulas?▼
FiLaC (Fistula-tract Laser Closure) is a modern sphincter-saving technique that uses 360-degree radial laser energy to destroy and seal the fistula tract from the inside out, without cutting the anal sphincter muscles.
Q: Does laser fistula surgery cause muscle damage or incontinence?▼
No, this is the primary benefit of laser fistula treatment. It preserves the anal sphincter muscles entirely, maintaining normal bowel control and avoiding fecal incontinence.
Q: What is the success rate of laser fistula treatment?▼
FiLaC has a very high success rate (over 80-85%) for suitable tracts, particularly when performed by a specialist. It avoids the large, non-healing wounds of traditional fistulectomies.
Q: What is the postoperative recovery timeline for laser fistula surgery?▼
Patients can walk and return to light work in 2 to 3 days. There are no large open wounds requiring painful daily packing, making the healing process much smoother.
