Anal fistula is one of the most discomforting and complex anorectal conditions, often causing persistent discharge, pain, infection, and difficulty in leading a normal routine. Unlike piles or fissures, a fistula does not heal on its own and almost always requires medical intervention—usually a surgical procedure. This is why thousands of patients across Ahmedabad and Gujarat search for Anal Fistula Surgery in Ahmedabad to get safe, effective, and long-lasting relief.
At Shah Piles Clinic, two of Ahmedabad’s most trusted and experienced anorectal specialists—Dr. Niket Shah and Dr. Devendra Shah—deliver advanced fistula treatment using modern laser technology, minimally invasive procedures, and specialized surgical expertise. With years of experience in treating complex anorectal diseases like piles, fissure, fistula, and pilonidal sinus, they have become a preferred choice for patients from Sabarmati, Chandkheda, Motera, Gota, Ranip, Shahibaug, Paldi, Satellite, SG Highway, and all across Gujarat.
An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel that forms between the anal canal and the skin near the anus. It typically begins as an untreated anal abscess which, after draining, leaves behind a tract. If the infection recurs or the tract becomes chronic, a fistula develops.
Fistula is not just a simple infection—it is categorized as a chronic surgical disease that needs expert evaluation and specialized care. Without proper treatment, it may worsen, leading to more complex tracts, multiple openings, or repeated abscess formation.
For this reason, consulting experienced specialists like Dr. Niket Shah and Dr. Devendra Shah is extremely important.
Understanding the type of fistula helps determine the best surgical approach. The main types include:
1. Intersphincteric Fistula
The most common type; the fistula tract passes between internal and external sphincter muscles.
2. Transsphincteric Fistula
The tract passes through the external sphincter and may extend to the skin of the buttock.
3. Suprasphincteric Fistula
A more complex type that loops over the sphincter muscle.
4. Extrasphincteric Fistula
Rare but complicated, usually caused by trauma, Crohn’s disease, or surgery.
5. Horseshoe Fistula
Involves multiple interconnected tracts and internal openings.
Only an experienced colorectal surgeon can correctly diagnose the type and decide the appropriate surgical method.
People experiencing these symptoms should seek immediate medical help:
Persistent pus or discharge from an opening near the anus
Pain while sitting
Irritation or swelling
Difficulty passing stool
Foul-smelling discharge
Fever or infection (in acute cases)
A visible hole/opening near the anus
Redness or skin irritation
If you notice these symptoms, consulting the right specialist becomes essential to avoid complications.
Several factors may lead to fistula formation:
An experienced doctor determines the root cause before planning treatment.
Dr. Niket Shah and Dr. Devendra Shah follow a highly accurate diagnostic approach:
Physical examination
Probing the fistula tract
Identifying internal and external openings
Ultra-sonography (in some cases)
MRI fistulogram for complex fistulas
Detailed patient history review
Proper diagnosis ensures the right surgical method is chosen.
Unlike piles or fissure, a fistula is a “tract” or a tunnel which:
Does NOT heal with tablets
Does NOT shrink with ointments
Does NOT disappear on its own
Needs surgical intervention to remove infection and tract
This is why Anal Fistula Surgery in Ahmedabad is the standard and most effective treatment.
Shah Piles Clinic offers all modern and traditional fistula treatments depending on severity and patient condition.
