Overview

What is Fistula ?

A Fistula is an abnormal connection between two organs or tissues, commonly occurring between the rectum and the skin around the anus (anal fistula). It often results from an infection or abscess and can cause persistent pain, swelling, and discharge. Timely treatment is essential to prevent complications and recurrence.

At Dr. KM Cherian Institute of Medical Sciences, our Department of Minimally Invasive & Laparoscopic Surgery offers advanced diagnostic tools and minimally invasive procedures to treat fistulas effectively.
