Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Dr. Kharde considered a top fistula specialist in Pune?

Dr. Kharde has dedicated over 17 years to anorectal surgery, with particular expertise in complex fistula cases. He offers the full range of modern techniques — VAAFT, laser, LIFT, seton, and flap procedures — selecting the approach based on tract anatomy, not a one-size-fits-all method.

What fistula surgery techniques does Dr. Kharde offer?

Dr. Kharde offers VAAFT (video-assisted), laser fistulotomy, LIFT procedure, cutting and draining setons, advancement flap repair, and traditional fistulotomy. The choice depends on fistula tract complexity, relationship to sphincter muscles, and whether the case is primary or recurrent.

How does Dr. Kharde handle recurrent fistulas?

Recurrent fistulas require careful re-evaluation with MRI to map residual or new tracts. Dr. Kharde avoids repeating failed approaches and instead selects a different technique that addresses the specific anatomy causing recurrence, often prioritising sphincter preservation.

What is the success rate of fistula surgery with Dr. Kharde?

Success rates depend on fistula complexity. Simple fistulas have healing rates above 90%. Complex or recurrent cases may require staged procedures but still achieve excellent long-term outcomes with Dr. Kharde's approach of tract mapping before technique selection.

How long is recovery after fistula surgery?

Recovery varies by technique: VAAFT and laser patients often return to desk work within a week, while complex repairs may need 2-4 weeks. Wound care compliance and soft stools are essential for healing. Dr. Kharde provides specific timelines based on your procedure.
