Solutions in anal incontinence and recto-vaginal fistulas surgery
Sphincteroplasty is a surgery to repair a damaged or weakened anal sphincter. The damaged muscle is removed by the surgeon who then overlaps the muscle edges and sews them back together to provide support to the muscles and tighten the sphincter.
Surgery to close a fistula may be done by gynecology and colorectal surgeons jointly. Surgical options include sewing an anal fistula plug or patch of biologic tissue into the fistula to allow your tissue to grow into the patch and heal the fistula. Using a tissue graft taken from a nearby part of your body or folding a flap of healthy tissue over the fistula opening.
