Anal Fistula
Please inform me on the causes of anal fistulae & what is the safest, easiest & most painless procedure in treating this condition. Is lazer treatment a possibility as used widely these days in modern surgery ?
CyberDoc
Montana, an anal fistula is a communication between the rectum and the skin. The only effective treatment it to have this little “tunnel” cut out. Good luck.
