Fistulectomy is a definitive surgical procedure used to treat abnormal fistulous tracts that form between two organs or between an organ and the skin. These tracts commonly develop due to chronic infection, inflammation, or previous surgery and rarely heal on their own. Fistulectomy involves complete removal of the fistula tract to eliminate infection, prevent recurrence, and restore normal tissue healing. Timely surgical intervention is essential to avoid persistent discharge, pain, and repeated infections. When performed by an experienced surgeon, Fistulectomy offers durable results, faster recovery, and significant improvement in quality of life.
It is a curative procedure, not a temporary fix.

Fistulectomy is a definitive surgical solution for chronic fistulas that fail to heal with conservative treatment. Complete removal of the fistulous tract is essential to prevent persistent infection, discomfort, and repeated flare-ups. Outcomes depend on accurate diagnosis, meticulous surgical technique, and proper postoperative care. Choosing an experienced surgeon significantly improves healing rates and reduces recurrence. When performed correctly, Fistulectomy restores comfort, prevents long-term complications, and allows patients to return confidently to normal life.
Fistulectomy removes the entire fistula tract, reducing recurrence risk. It is preferred for complex or recurrent fistulas, while fistulotomy may be suitable for simpler cases.
Pain is usually mild to moderate and well controlled with medications. Most patients notice symptom improvement within days of surgery.
Recurrence is uncommon when the entire tract is completely excised. Proper imaging, surgical expertise, and wound care significantly reduce recurrence risk.
