Treatment Options

1. Fistulotomy : Incising open the fistula tract to allow healing from the inside out 

  • Best for: Simple, superficial fistulas.

  • Pros: ~95% healing; outpatient; minimal sphincter damage 

  • Risks: Low risk of incontinence in simple cases, higher for complex tracts.

2. Fistulectomy : Excision of the entire tract plus surrounding tissue 

  • Best for: Extensions or recurrent tracts, but more tissue disruption.

  • Risks: Higher risk of sphincter injury.

3. Seton Placement : Thread loop inserted into tract for drainage and gradual cutting before further treatment  

  • Best for: Complex fistulas traversing muscle.

4. LIFT Procedure : Ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract via an incision at the sphincter groove 

  • Pros: Sphincter-preserving, ~75–94% success; lower incontinence .

  • Ideal for: Simple/transsphincteric fistulas through muscle.

5. Advancement Flap : Internal opening is covered with a tissue flap and sealed 

  • Outcome: ~70% healing; used for complex cases.

6. Laser & Endoscopic Techniques (FiLaC, VAAFT, DLPL)

  • FiLaC: Laser energy destroys fistula lining.

  • VAAFT: Visual curettage and ablation via endoscopy.

  • DLPL: Laser ablates the tract while ligating internal opening—sphincter-sparing, ~99% success in complex fistulas 

  • Pros: Precise, minimal incontinence risk, outpatient.

7. Fibrin Glue & Biologic Plugs : Glue or plug seals tract without cutting muscle  

  • Outcome: Success rates vary (10–80%), minimal surgical risk.

Cost Estimates

  • Range: ₹20,000–₹150,000 depending on procedure  

  • Average costs:

    • Fistulotomy: ₹25,000–₹60,000  

    • LIFT: ₹45,000–₹90,000 

    • Advancement flap: ₹70,000–₹80,000  

    • Laser: ₹35,000–₹60,000 .

    • VAAFT: ₹80,000–₹100,000 

    • DLPL: typically under laser/easy ablation range.


 Outcomes & Recurrence

  • Incontinence risk: Minimal for LIFT, FiLaC, VAAFT; fistulotomy and fistulectomy carry more risk 

  • DLPL: 98–99% success in complex fistulas with no reported incontinence 

  • Recurrence: Lower with newer sphincter-sparing techniques, higher in complex or Crohn’s-associated cases.
