Anal fistula surgery 3D demonstration

Anal fistula surgery is an important means of treating complex anal fistulas. Surgery can effectively solve the problem of infection channels. Understanding the surgical process can help patients prepare for surgery and reduce the risk of postoperative complications. This article will help patients build confidence by explaining the steps and postoperative care of anal fistula surgery in detail.

1. Surgery type and procedure

Anal fistula surgery mainly includes fistulectomy, hanging thread therapy and rubber plug occlusion. Fistulectomy is the most direct method, which completely removes the fistula and is suitable for simple fistulas. Hanging thread therapy uses cotton thread to hang the fistula and gradually heal it. It is a common choice for complex fistulas. Rubber plug occlusion uses special materials to block the fistula. It is suitable for patients with deep fistulas who are not suitable for other surgeries. Before the operation, the doctor will choose the appropriate procedure according to the complexity of the patient's fistula and personal physical condition.

2. Preoperative preparation and postoperative care

A comprehensive physical examination is required before surgery to determine the direction and depth of the anal fistula, and to check other health conditions of the body to ensure the safety of the surgery. After surgery, special attention should be paid to the cleaning and care of the wound to avoid infection. Patients can take a warm water bath every day to promote wound healing and keep the area around the anus dry and hygienic to reduce the risk of postoperative complications. At the same time, high-fiber foods should be consumed in the diet to keep bowel movements smooth and reduce friction on the wound.

3. Mental preparation and attention to the body

In addition to improving physical health, surgery also has a significant impact on mental health. Patients should be mentally prepared in advance, understand the necessity of surgery and possible postoperative symptoms, and maintain a positive attitude. If you feel uncomfortable or have questions after surgery, you should communicate with your doctor in time to ensure that you get professional help.

Keeping abreast of your own condition and surgical information can help patients better cooperate with doctors and avoid unnecessary risks. Although anal fistula is troublesome, early treatment and proper care can bring good recovery results. Patients should seek medical treatment in time, follow professional advice, and take appropriate measures to make surgery an important turning point in their lives and open a new chapter of health.
