An anal fistula usually develops from an abscess around the anus, appearing as a red, swollen bump and possibly with pus. The surgeon will choose the most suitable method for each individual patient, focusing on achieving a complete cure, preventing recurrence, and avoiding damaging the sphincter muscles.

An anal fistula usually develops from an abscess around the anus, appearing as a red, swollen bump and possibly with pus. The exact risk factors are still unknown, but the most common cause is bacterial infection, blockage, or inflammation of anal glands.

Surgery has proved to be an effective treatment method. The LIFT (ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract) surgical technique is one of the most popular methods used today.

The Colorectal Surgery Center provides surgeries for anal fistulas by specialist surgeons with over 20 years of experience, with over 325 patients annually. The recurrence rate for complex cases is only 16.99%, and only 2.91% in standard procedures.
