Fistula Repair
Fistula repair is a surgical procedure aimed at closing an abnormal connection between two organs or vessels in the body. Fistulas can occur in various areas, such as the digestive system or urinary tract, often resulting from injury, infection, or surgery. The repair process typically involves removing the damaged tissue and stitching the surrounding healthy tissue together to restore normal function.
The procedure can be performed using different techniques, including open surgery or laparoscopic surgery, depending on the fistula's location and complexity. Recovery may vary, but patients often require follow-up care to ensure proper healing and prevent complications.
