Fistula-tract Laser Closure - FiLaC®
Minimally invasive treatment for anal fistula
The aim is to gently remove the fistula tract without damaging the sphincter. Thus, any parts of the muscle are preserved to a maximum and incontinence is avoided. Furthermore the FiLaC procedure offers a minimally invasive approach which can be performed in just a few minutes as the laser action replaces the excision.
Description
Anal fistula treatment: In order to eliminate the fistula tract as gently as possible, the flexible, radially emitting laser fiber is inserted from the outside and positioned exactly by using the pilot beam. Defined energy is being emitted into the fistula . The epithelialized tissue is being destroyed in a controlled way and the fistula tract collapses to a very high degree. This also supports and accelerates the healing process. The inner ostium can easily be closed by direct sutures to keep tensions low in the mucous membrane.
Features:
- Good control
- No excision or splitting
- Independent on the length of the fistula tract
- Flexible fiber also allows use in convoluted tract
- Can be executed in only a few minutes
- Can be combined with other forms of therapy for closing the ostium
