Frequently Asked Questions

What is VAAFT and why is it better than traditional fistula surgery?

VAAFT is a minimally invasive endoscopic technique using visualization to identify and treat fistula tracts while preserving sphincter function. It results in less pain, faster healing, and lower recurrence (5-10%) compared to traditional open fistulotomy (15-20%).

How long does fistula surgery take?

VAAFT procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes. The exact duration depends on fistula complexity. Most patients are discharged the same day or after overnight observation.

What is recovery like after fistula surgery?

Recovery is relatively quick with VAAFT. Minimal wound care is needed. Most patients experience mild discomfort for 1-2 weeks. Return to light activities within 1-2 weeks and normal activities within 4 weeks.

What is the success rate of VAAFT?

VAAFT has a success rate of 85-95% depending on fistula complexity. Simple fistulas have higher success rates. Complex cases may require staged procedures or combination approaches.

Will fistula surgery affect my bowel continence?

One of VAAFT's main advantages is sphincter preservation, significantly reducing continence issues. Traditional fistulotomy has higher continence complications, while VAAFT avoids this by preserving sphincter tissue.

Can fistulas recur after VAAFT?

Yes, recurrence is possible (5-10% with VAAFT). This is lower than traditional surgery. Proper wound care, hygiene, and management of underlying causes reduce recurrence risk significantly.
