Treatment for Fistulas
Patients with fistulas often see gynecologists, urogynecologists, or colorectal surgeons for assistance on how to best proceed with treatment. Once a fistula has been identified, the doctor will determine the most appropriate course of therapy based on the fistula’s location, size, and current state. Symptom management with a catheter alone may be an option for treatment. Fistula repair surgery may be necessary for more severe cases.
Management
Fibrin glue. A fistula sealant is a type of medical glue.
Plug. The fistula is often filled with a collagen matrix.
Catheters. Typically, catheters are used to drain tiny fistulas in order to control infection.
Reformative Surgery
Procedures are performed through the abdominal wall. An incision is made in the patient’s abdominal wall in order to reach the fistula.
Incisions are made through the stomach wall (laparoscopy). Small cameras and instruments are used in this minimally invasive procedure to repair the fistula through a teeny incision.
Medicinal Remedies
Fistula-related infections can be treated with antibiotics or other drugs. In spite of this, there is no drug available that can completely eliminate fistulas. Therefore, making it important to acquire a doctor’s advice on the best treatment plans
While fistulas are dangerous, the high success rate of therapy should encourage you to get care quickly if you or someone you know has one.
