Fistula Surgery

Fistula surgery in colorectal surgery addresses an abnormal connection, or fistula, that forms between the intestine and the skin or other organs. This can occur due to conditions like Crohn’s disease, infections, or previous surgeries. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the fistula and repairs the surrounding tissue to restore normal function and prevent recurring issues. The goal is to eliminate the fistula and promote healing, improving the patient's quality of life and preventing complications. Recovery typically involves a period of rest and care to allow the surgical site to heal properly.
