Laser Fistulectomy Treatment in India

Pooja Saxena, a 42-year-old senior accountant and mother of two, had been suffering from a recurrent perianal abscess for over a year. It would drain painfully, provide temporary relief, then flare up again, causing throbbing pain, swelling, and constant soiling. It made sitting through long work meetings and playing with her children agonizing. Her general surgeon, Dr. Mehta, explained that the abscess had formed a fistula, a tiny tunnel connecting the infected gland to the skin. He recommended a Laser Fistulectomy, describing it as a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to precisely seal the fistula tract, offering a higher chance of a permanent cure with less pain and faster recovery than traditional surgery. During the 30-minute procedure under spinal anesthesia, Pooja felt no pain. The recovery was remarkably smooth. She experienced mild discomfort managed with oral painkillers and was back to her desk job in three days. After two weeks, the wound had healed completely. Emotionally, Pooja had felt trapped in a cycle of pain and embarrassment, which affected her confidence as a professional and parent. After the successful procedure and recovery, she felt a profound sense of liberation and relief, finally free from the constant worry and discomfort.
