I can say that laser treatment for fistula has become a popular, minimally invasive option and is generally safe. It tends to cause less pain and allows for quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery. However, the chances of recurrence can be slightly higher with laser treatment, especially for more complex fistulas. While it’s effective for many patients, it’s not suitable for every case. It’s important to have a thorough evaluation with your surgeon to decide which treatment—laser or conventional surgery is best suited for your specific fistula type and overall health
