What Is VAAFT and How Does It Treat Fistula-in-Ano?

VAAFT (Video-Assisted Anal Fistula Treatment) is a modern, minimally invasive technique used to treat anal fistulas, an abnormal tunnel between the anal canal and the skin. Unlike traditional surgeries involving large incisions, VAAFT uses a fine camera and specialized tools, ensuring faster recovery and minimal patient discomfort.

How VAAFT Works: Step-by-Step

1. Locating the Fistula Tract

A tiny camera called a fistuloscope is gently inserted through the fistula's external opening. This allows the surgeon to visualize the entire tract, including side branches or hidden extensions.

2. Excision for Internal Opening

Once the scope is inserted, the internal opening is identified and excised. The tract is cored out using ProctoCor.

3. Final Visualization of the Tract Using Scope

Under direct vision, the surgeon cleans the tract thoroughly, removing infected tissue and debris using dedicated instruments. This step ensures that no diseased areas are left behind.

Why Choose VAAFT?

  • Minimally invasive – no big cuts or stitches
  • Faster healing – most patients recover quickly
  • Low risk of incontinence – preserves anal sphincter function
  • High precision – direct camera vision helps treat complex and branching fistulas
  • Quick discharge – many patients return home the same or next day

What to Expect After VAAFT

  • Mild pain or slight bleeding may occur initially
  • Full healing may take a few weeks
  • Regular follow-ups ensure proper recovery and long-term success
