Introduction to the Proctology Center of Yangzhou Armed Police Hospital: An anal fistula refers to an infected channel connecting the anal canal, rectum, and the surrounding skin of the anus. It is generally believed that anal fistulas are sequelae of perianal abscesses around the anus and rectum. 95% of perirectal abscesses are caused by anal gland infections. This disease can occur at any age, but it is more common in people aged 30-40, with a slightly higher incidence in men than in women.
To treat an anal fistula, one must first understand its symptoms in order to provide appropriate treatment.
1. Pain. When the fistula duct is unobstructed and without inflammation, there is often no pain, only a feeling of local swelling and discomfort, which worsens when walking. When the fistula duct becomes infected or the pus cannot drain properly and swells and inflames, a burning sensation may be felt, causing pain during defecation.
2. Itching. Due to the constant stimulation of pus on the perianal skin, itching is often felt, along with dampness and discomfort around the anus. The skin changes color, the epidermis peels off, fibrous tissue proliferates and thickens, sometimes forming eczema.
3. Discharge of pus. This is the main symptom of an anal fistula. Since pus discharges repeatedly, patients often feel moist around the anus and have dirty underwear, which brings great inconvenience to life.
4. Difficulty in defecation. A long-standing complex anal fistula can affect the dilation and closure of the anus, making defecation difficult and giving a feeling of incomplete evacuation.
5. Systemic symptoms. During acute inflammation and recurrent episodes of complex anal fistulas, varying degrees of fever may occur, or accompanied by weight loss, anemia, physical weakness, and other chronic consumption symptoms.
The Proctology Center of Yangzhou Armed Police Hospital emphasizes that the HCPT minimally invasive procedure has functions such as high-frequency capacitive field hemorrhoid treatment, high-frequency electric knife, and capacitive field hemostatic clamp. This minimally invasive and painless method for treating anal fistulas involves inserting a rectal fiber scope into the anus, and through a monitor, directly performing minimally invasive electrocoagulation on the internal opening, causing the internal opening of the anal fistula to dry up and close.
Then, washing out the pus inside the fistula duct ensures that after defecation, bacteria and fecal water from the stool cannot enter the surrounding tissues, preventing infection and pain, thereby achieving recovery. Other proctological diseases such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and perianal abscesses are all ideal treatment indications for anal fistulas.
Advantages of treating anal fistulas with the HCPT minimally invasive procedure include less pain and no bleeding:
High precision: Digitized visual precise positioning of the anal fistula lesion facilitates smooth surgery.
Faster recovery: Short hospital stay, quick wound recovery post-surgery, and no impact on normal anal function.
Less pain: Local or complete anesthesia is used during surgery, minimizing patient discomfort.
Low complications: Thousands of patients have successfully recovered, and observations and follow-ups indicate a very low probability of complications.
Minimally invasive safety: The entire surgical process is under computer precision control, ensuring minimal invasiveness, safety, and reliability both during and after surgery.
Experts at the Proctology Center of Yangzhou Armed Police Hospital remind that fundamentally, the development of anal fistulas follows an inward-to-outward trend, with the lesion located near the anal canal and rectum. Simply applying medicine can only affect the skin around the anus and cannot reach deeper lesions. If the medication is not suitable for the condition, it may lead to re-infection of the fistula opening, worsening the condition. Moreover, the internal opening of the anal fistula can only be removed through surgery; drug treatment cannot completely cure it. Patients should seek timely treatment at professional and regular hospitals, early treatment leads to early health recovery.
