Laser closure for fistula in Turkey typically preserves continence and leaves no visible external scars. This minimally invasive approach uses the FiLaC laser to seal the tract from within. Unlike traditional surgery, it avoids cutting the anal sphincter muscle to protect bowel control.
- Continence preservation: Laser techniques avoid sphincter division to maintain full bowel control.
- Scarring profile: Minimally invasive transanal ablation leaves zero visible external surgical scars.
- Healing timeline: Recovery typically lasts 2 to 4 weeks compared to open excision.
- Procedure range: Turkey offers laser surgery from $1,800 up to $3,000.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data from proctology-focused centers like Avrupa Cerrahi shows a high success rate when using specialized lasers. While general clinics offer this, centers treating 1,700 proctology patients annually often have lower recurrence. Confirm your fistula type via MRI first, as laser works best for simple, low-level tracts.
Patient Consensus: Patients report that while minor seepage or gas control issues may occur for 2 months, full continence usually returns by 6 months. Most emphasize that the lack of external wounds makes post-operative hygiene much easier than traditional methods.
