Are You Experiencing Anal Fistula Symptoms?
An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel connecting the infected anal gland to the skin. Select all signs you are experiencing:
Untreated fistulas rarely heal on their own and can branch into complex tracts, leading to chronic infection and risk of incontinence with traditional cutting surgeries.
Why FiLaC is the Gold Standard for Fistula
Traditional fistula surgeries (like fistulotomy) require cutting through the anal sphincter muscles, carrying a lifelong risk of fecal incontinence. FiLaC uses a precision radial laser fiber that destroys and seals the tract from inside without cutting any muscle.
100% Sphincter Preservation
Absolute protection of anal sphincter functions with zero risk of postoperative incontinence.
Painless & Minimal Healing Time
No open surgical wounds or painful dressing changes. Return to routine life within 24–48 hours.
High Success & Low Recurrence
Controlled radial energy delivery ensures thorough tract obliteration and robust tissue healing.

Advanced FiLaC Protocol Insights
Precision Radial Laser Fiber Technology
The FiLaC fiber emits laser energy circumferentially (360 degrees), ablating and destroying the epithelial lining of the fistula tract while shrinking the tract down to complete closure without harming surrounding sphincter muscle fibers.
Accurate Fistula Mapping
Before the procedure, high-resolution diagnostic imaging maps the primary tract and any secondary horse-shoe extensions, ensuring complete and permanent eradication during laser treatment.
Rapid Healing & Zero Downtime
Patients walk out of the hospital within hours of the procedure. Normal diet and light daily activities can be resumed immediately with minimal postoperative discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions about FiLaC
What is FiLaC and how does it work?
FiLaC means fistula-tract laser closure. A radial laser fiber is passed through the fistula tract to deliver energy intended to treat the tract while preserving the surrounding sphincter as much as possible. Suitability and expected results depend on the individual fistula.
Who may be considered for FiLaC treatment?
FiLaC may be considered for selected anal fistulas after specialist assessment. The fistula's course, branches, prior treatment, symptoms, and the patient's health all help determine the appropriate treatment.
How is an anal fistula assessed before FiLaC?
Assessment typically includes a review of symptoms and medical history and a clinical examination. Imaging, such as MRI, may be recommended to map the fistula and identify branches before treatment.
Is FiLaC surgery painful?
The procedure is performed with an appropriate anesthetic, and discomfort during recovery varies. Your surgeon can explain pain management and what to expect based on the planned procedure.
Does FiLaC guarantee that the fistula will not return?
No fistula procedure can guarantee healing or prevent recurrence in every case. Outcomes depend on factors such as fistula anatomy, healing, and individual health; discuss expected benefits, risks, and alternatives with your surgeon.
How long does recovery after FiLaC take?
Recovery time varies by the procedure and the individual. Follow your surgeon's instructions about wound care, activity, and follow-up, and ask when it is appropriate to return to work or exercise.
What symptoms after treatment should prompt medical advice?
Contact your care team if you develop fever, worsening pain, heavy bleeding, increasing swelling, or other concerning symptoms. Follow the specific aftercare and urgent-contact instructions provided by your clinician.
Are FiLaC procedures covered under ECHS, CGHS, or insurance?
Coverage depends on the applicable scheme or policy, eligibility, approvals, and treatment details. Contact the hospital's cashless desk and your insurer to confirm current coverage before planning treatment.
