What's the best treatment for fistula and can it be treated without surgery I'm really worried and looking for the most effective options
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The most effective treatment for a fistula is often surgical, but non-surgical options are sometimes available, especially for certain types of fistulas. For anal fistulas, surgical options like fistulotomy, LIFT (Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract), and flap procedures are common, while non-surgical options include fibrin glue injection, seton placement, and fistula plugs

My mom is 70 and has asthma but also gallstones. Is it safe for her to have surgery for the gallstones given her asthma condition? I'm really worried about the risks
It's understandable to be concerned about your mother's safety, especially with both asthma and gallstones. While asthma does increase the risk of complications during surgery, with proper planning and management, a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) can be performed safely in elderly patients with asthma
