Fistula treatment can be done in several ways depending on the patient's physical condition. Here we mentioned our specialized fistula treatment and management process:

- Fistula Plug: A biological plug can be inserted into the fistula tract to promote healing and closure.
- LIFT Procedure (Ligation of the Intersphincteric Fistula Tract): This technique involves identifying and ligating the internal opening of the fistula tract, allowing it to heal from the inside out.
- Advancement Flap Surgery: In some cases, tissue from the rectal wall may be used to cover the internal opening of the fistula, promoting healing.
