Description

A fistula is an abnormal passage or connection between two parts of the body, commonly involving the anal region, intestines, or other internal organs. These can result from various conditions such as infections, complications from surgery, inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s, or trauma. Dr. Amilthan K, an experienced general and laparoscopic surgeon in Chennai, provides thorough and compassionate care for patients dealing with fistulas. Each case is carefully evaluated to determine the underlying cause, extent, and ideal treatment plan. Depending on the type and location, initial management may involve antibiotics, drainage of infections, or lifestyle changes aimed at reducing recurrence. When surgical intervention is needed, Dr. Amilthan uses his expertise in minimally invasive techniques to treat the fistula, while preserving surrounding tissue and function. Procedures are chosen based on the individual’s condition and may include fistulotomy, seton placement, or advanced flap repairs, always aiming for effective healing with minimal discomfort. Dr. Amilthan’s patient centered approach, clear communication, and surgical precision ensure that those suffering from fistulas receive timely, safe, and lasting relief.
