Surgical treatment of anal fistulas: In order to relieve the suffering of patients more quickly and serve them better, our hospital introduced the advanced American HCPTpc endoscope diagnostic and therapeutic system. First, it is necessary to find all low and high position fistula under the HCPTpc endoscope, then completely remove the fistula tract, and gradually recover from inside out. The fistula of anal fistula has internal and external openings. If the external opening is sealed and there is a fistula inside, it needs to be incised and recovered again from inside out. To treat anal fistula, it is necessary to completely remove the fistula tract and gradually recover from inside out. Some anal fistulas have internal openings, some have external openings, and need to be examined for symptomatic treatment. If the external opening is sealed and there is a fistula inside, it needs to be incised and recovered again from inside out. This method has no surgery, no hospitalization, and little pain. It avoids the disadvantages of traditional surgery such as great pain, much bleeding, and long hospital stay. Experts from Zhengzhou Huashan Proctology Hospital personally diagnose and provide authoritative treatment.
Treatment effect: Compared with other treatments, its prominent advantage is little pain, accurate positioning, no need for surgery, little bleeding, one-time treatment, good effect, no need for hospitalization, no postoperative pain, no impact on defecation and diet, no sequelae, and can quickly return to normal life. Especially suitable for patients who fear surgical pain, it can be performed without hospitalization.
Anal fistula refers to an infectious channel that connects the anus rectum and the surrounding skin, also known as "anal rectal fistula". Its internal opening is often near the dentate line, and the external opening is on the perianal skin. The fistula does not heal for a long time. Informally, according to its main symptoms, pus and pus blood continuously flow out of the sore on the perianal skin, like a leaking house, our ancestors named this disease as fistula. Fistula is a pipeline with two communicating sores inside and outside the body cavity. It can leak secretions and pus from the body to the outside, and in serious cases, feces can be seen flowing out, like a hidden rat stealing feces in the sore hole, so the anal fistula is vividly called "stealing rat".
Symptoms of anal fistula:
1. Pus discharge: The amount of pus depends on the length and size of the fistula. Newly formed anal fistulas have more pus discharge, thick pus, foul smell, and yellow color, which gradually decreases, sometimes present and sometimes absent, white in color, and thin in quality. If the amount of pus suddenly increases, it indicates the formation of a new fistula. Sometimes the external opening temporarily closes, the pus stops flowing, the body temperature rises, the local area swells, and an abscess forms again. The closed external opening breaks again or forms a new external opening, and pus flows out again. For large internal and external fistulas, feces and gas sometimes flow out of the external opening.
2. Pain: If the fistula is unobstructed, generally there is no pain, only feeling of swelling and discomfort at the external opening, which worsens when walking.
3. Itching: The perianal skin feels moist and itchy due to constant stimulation by secretions, and may appear skin discoloration and surface shedding.
4. Unsmooth bowel movements: Common in horseshoe-shaped anal fistulas, due to the fistula winding around the anus forming a semi-circular fibrous ring, thus affecting the dilation of the anus, causing unsmooth bowel movements.
5. Systemic symptoms: Generally, common anal fistulas have no systemic symptoms, but complex anal fistulas and stone anal fistulas, due to long-term illness, sometimes lasting for decades, often show symptoms such as weight loss, blood deficiency, dry stools, and difficulty in defecation; if secondary infection occurs, an abscess forms again, then the symptoms of the abscess will appear.
Harm of anal fistula:
Harm 1: Pus pollution
Once an anal fistula forms, pus secretion will be discharged outward. If there is intense activity, the external benefit will be even greater. First, it pollutes underwear, then infects the skin. After friction and stimulation, itching and pain will occur successively. As a result, work and study will be paralyzed, and physical and mental strength will decline.
Harm 2: Promoting blood deficiency
The bleeding of anal fistula is the same principle as hemorrhoids bleeding. Short-term bleeding is harmless, but if the bleeding is too much and lasts too long, the iron element in the body will continue to lose. Over time, anemia will naturally follow.
Harm 3: Affecting the normal function of the anus
Anal fistula is the same as enteritis, it cannot be cured overnight. Even if it is cured, improper care can cause recurrence. If it recurs, the pus can break through the fistula wall and spread along the sphincter muscle gap, continuing forward to form high-incidence and complex anal fistulas. Not only does it make treatment difficult, but it also seriously affects the normal physiological function of the anus.
Harm 4: Threatening nearby organs
Anal fistula is a high-incidence disease. Long-term delay can form rectovaginal fistula, rectourethral fistula, and rectovesical fistula. Thus, threatening surrounding internal organs is inevitable. Besides, if it has not healed for many years (referring to not being thoroughly cured), the possibility of cancerous changes will increase.
