Laser Closure of Fistula Tract (FiLaC) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat anal fistulas.
Performed by colorectal surgeons, it involves using laser energy to close the fistula tract while preserving sphincter function. This procedure is ideal for complex or recurrent fistulas, helping reduce the risk of incontinence compared to traditional methods. Symptoms such as persistent drainage, pain, and infections around the anus may indicate the need for this treatment. FiLaC is especially beneficial for patients seeking a low-risk, effective solution.
