Yes, fistula surgery is available at our center. fistula is an infection-related condition where an abnormal tract forms due to infected blood vessels. The most advanced and preferred treatment is laser fistula surgery, which targets and seals the infected tract from inside, reducing tissue damage and chances of recurrence.
In traditional open surgery, the fistula tract is cut open to remove the infection. This method is more painful, leaves the wound open, and usually requires around 40 days of recovery, along with prolonged bed rest. There is also a higher chance of recurrence with open surgery.
With laser fistula treatment, the infection is treated internally using laser energy, which minimizes pain, blood loss, and hospital stay. Recovery is much faster compared to open surgery, and patients can resume daily activities sooner.
The total cost for laser fistula surgery is approximately ₹65,000, covering the complete treatment from start to end. However, under a medical camp package, the procedure is available at a discounted cost of ₹57,500. The final approach is decided after a clinical evaluation by the doctor to ensure the most suitable and effective treatment plan
