Anal Fistula When an irregular false tract occurs between the inside of the rectum and the outside skin surface, an Anal Fistula forms. The anal fistula is classified according to the condition of the tract and the relation of the internal opening to the anal sphincter muscle. Most commonly, this condition develops because of an anal abscess that went untreated. The anal abscess itself is usually the result of a small gland that becomes infected. The most common symptoms are pain, recurrent swelling, pus discharge and discomfort during the discharge of stool. The most common treatment in India is a surgical treatment; the most common method is the minimally invasive Video Assisted Anal Fistula Treatment. Symptoms What are the typical symptoms of anal-fistula? Swelling around the anal area Redness around the rectal area Pus drainage Rectal pain. Causes What causes anal fistulas? It usually occurs as a result of some damage to the tissue around the anus. It begins as a sort of inflammation in the rectal area. Later, it becomes an abscess which gets regularly infected and reinfected by faeces. This causes the fistula to form near the anus. If the fistula seals over, pus can start accumulating. Because of this pus-drain, anal fistulas can be very painful. Anal fistulas usually occur because of: An injury caused by constipation Anal glands becoming infected Crohn’s disease Abscess of the large intestine

What does it mean varicose veins endovenous ablation? vein-ablation-procedureVaricose pathology and its best methods of treatment have been developed for the last decades. Duplex ultrasound testing and its widespread promotion influence on varicose pathology treatment. Duplex ultrasound testing gives a doctor an opportunity to examine the reason of varicose veins appearance. Blood flows through arteria from the heart into legs and back to the heart through veins. Duplex ultrasound image depicts veins and gives an opportunity to check the blood flow. Ultrasound testing should be done while treating any varicose pathology in order to find out the blood flow direction that leads to varicose veins appearance. Leg veins have non-return valves that that block the blood from running down. If the valves do not work properly (so called ineffective valves), the blood inspissates and leads to varicose veins. Individual plan of treatment will be worked out for every patient, after an ultrasound testing and after veins examination by a doctor. Individual plan of treatment consists of: Endovenous laser ablation means a closure of an injured vessel by using laser energy. Endovenous radiowave ablation a closure of an injured vessel by using radiowave energy. Ultrasound sclerotherapy means that a special medicine (called sclerosant) is used to block veins. Miniflebectomy is a surgical removal of damaged veins with minimal cuts (5mm). Preparation of varicose veins to ablation csm_mapping_prae_op_1_01_9be4aee32cA surgeon will discuss with a patient, beafore planning the procedure, all the nuances of the procedure, probable complications, all the advantages and disadvantages of treatment and probable alternatives. A patient should inform a surgeon about all the medicine he or she takes in, about disease he or she has and about allergies ( local anesthetic allergy or allergy n medicine that is used during scleropherapy). A surgeon, before a procedure, may advise you to stop using blood thinners drugs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (aspirin, ibuprofen etc) or can offer alternative drugs. Come to a procedure in comfortable clothes, all the jewellery should be erased as well. Special supportive tights should be worn after the procedure.

Moderate pain and irritation may appear during the several days after the treatment, a surgeon will reccomend you suitable analgetic. Veins treatment is done by local anesthesia and general anesthesia is not needed. Laser and radiowave ablation Ultrasound veins testing has been done before the treatment. It has been done in order to identify the size of treated area. A leg is washed and shaved if it is needed, it is also aseptisized. If laser energy is used during the procedure, the special glasses will be given to a patient. Laser or radiowave probe is injected under local anesthesia. Laser or radiowave catheter, under ultrasound control, is injected into injured veins through small holes. Injured area treatment has been done under local anesthesia. Laser ray or radiowave catheter sends energy pulse that closes veins. A detector moves through a vein and closes it step by step. Veins, that are situated nearby, are remained intacted. Later laser ray or radiowave catheter is erased, bleeding is stopped by pressure. The cut is tapd by plaster. Supportive tights are put on the legs. After the treatment images-8Discomfort, measurable pain, swelling and bruises may appear after the treatment.Taking into consideration swelling and bruises can appear and the fact that you should wear supportive tights we reccomend you to plan your treatment during cold season. Partial loss of sensetivity may appear in treated area for some days. In some cases the recovery may last up to 6 months.

If a surgeon reccomends you to compound the treatment with other varicose veins prosedures (for example,withminiflebectomy, sclerotherapy) it takes 1,5-2 hours. If two legs need to be treated, we reccomend to take two procedures within one month (one leg may be treated for oneprocedure ). Supportive tights or stockings should be worn for 30-45 minutes every day. Are there any complications of endovenous ablation? Endovenous ablation is quite safe and does not have any complications. There are not any scars left after the treatment. One patient out of 1000 may have wound infection. Antibiotics treatment is needed in case of inflammation. Some patients seldom have swelling and bruises, supportive tights will help in this case. Complications based on nerve injury are quite uncommon. One patient out of twenty may have an inflammatory reaction of treated veins that may be treated easily by using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, for example, and etc.). Cooling compress is quite effective as well. Deep vein thrombosis is a dangerous complication. In order to prevent it, we maintain a control after the treatment. Varicose veins are a chronic issue, even after the treatment it can appear in other areas. According to some investigations the ablation method proves its effectiveness. It is effective in 85-97% even in 10 years after the treatment. Endovenous ablation advantages There is no need to do any surgical cuts in case of intravenous ablation. 2 mm cuts have been done during the treatment and there is no need of saturation. In comparison with surgical intervention there are less complications and pain during endovenous ablation. Endovenous ablation treatment is a minimally invasive alternative of surgical intervention. The majority of patients stop complaining about itch, swelling and heavy legs after the procedure. Patients may quickly turn to daily routine. When should patients feel the result of the treatment?

Hernias will not go away by themselves. Surgery is the only way to repair a hernia. A hernia repair returns the organ or structure to its proper place and fixes the weakened area of muscle or tissue. Having surgery is a big decision. It can be tempting to put it off, and that may be okay in some cases. Before you decide, make sure you understand the risks and benefits of your decision. Here are some things to consider and discuss with the doctor who is helping you make the decision. How Is the Hernia Affecting You? The first thing to consider is whether or not you are experiencing symptoms. Not everyone has symptoms with a hernia, especially small ones. When symptoms occur, the most common one is pain. Others can include a feeling of heaviness or fullness in the belly or groin. Whether you have symptoms or not, a hernia can also interfere with your leisure activities and your work. So you also need to recognize if you are taking time off from work or interests due to your hernia. Delaying surgery may mean you spend more time away from work and fun instead of returning to activities after recovery. If you have symptoms, especially pain, your doctor is likely to recommend surgery. But what if you don’t have symptoms or they are minimal? In this case, your doctor may recommend watchful waiting. Before you agree to watchful waiting, be sure your doctor knows the whole story. Be honest about any limitations your hernia puts on your time and activities. What Are the Risks of Waiting? 1. Hernias can become incarcerated. One potentially serious risk of not fixing a hernia is that it can become trapped outside the abdominal wall—or incarcerated. This can cut off the blood supply to the hernia and obstruct the bowel, resulting in a strangulated hernia. This requires urgent surgical repair. Not all hernias progress to this point, but it is a risk nonetheless. Avoiding an emergency situation that you can’t control is one reason to consider not delaying surgery. 2. Hernias grow. A more likely scenario is that your hernia will continue to grow and weaken with time. This is likely to increase your symptoms, including pain, and cause more changes to your lifestyle. Surgeons know that smaller hernias are easier to repair than larger hernias. Going ahead with surgery instead of delaying it can prevent your symptoms from getting worse. It can also help you avoid losing work or missing activities. 3. Hernias require surgery eventually. Even if you aren’t having symptoms, you may still want to consider having surgery sooner rather than later. Surgery for a hernia is somewhat inevitable in most cases. Research shows that most people with hernias have surgery within 10 years. Keep in mind that delaying surgery until your hernia is larger and the muscles are weaker may make surgery and recovery more difficult. 4. Your overall health may change. Your age may determine whether waiting is a risk for you. Putting off surgery for years down the road may mean you are not in as good overall health or physical shape. This will also affect your surgery and recovery. So having surgery at a younger age can be beneficial. However, if you are elderly (older than about 75 years of age), not very active, and your hernia isn’t causing problems, it may be better to not fix it. The risks of surgery may outweigh the benefit of repair. Making the Decision Surgery is never convenient and life is always busy. Being in control of when you have surgery is a huge benefit of not delaying your hernia repair. You can schedule your surgery at your convenience. And if you are a candidate for laparoscopic hernia surgery, you’ll be back to life and work sooner than in years past. Surgery should be easier on you and recovery will likely be smoother at a younger age and with a smaller hernia. Ultimately, your doctor is best able to help you decide whether watchful waiting or surgery is the best option for you.
