Fistula surgery
is a medical procedure used to treat fistulas, abnormal connections or passageways that form between two organs or between an organ and the skin. During the surgery, a surgeon makes an incision to access the affected area, carefully separates the connected tissues, and closes the fistula. The goal is to restore normal anatomy and prevent further complications or infections. Fistula surgery is essential for conditions like anal fistulas, urinary tract fistulas, or enterocutaneous fistulas. The specific surgical approach depends on the location and complexity of the fistula, and recovery time can vary accordingly.
