Has anyone undergone laser treatment for fistula? I want to know if it is really effective and safe compared to traditional surgery. Does it reduce the chances of recurrence and pain, or are there any major drawbacks I should be aware of?

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
