FiLaC – (Fistula-tract Laser Closure)
Your minimally invasive treatment option for fistulas by using radial laser radiation for the elimination and collapsing of the fistula tract.
Your laser therapy
The aim is to gently remove the fistula channel without having to split it. Thus, any parts of the muscle are preserved and incontinence can be avoided to a very high extent. Excision of the fistula from the healthy tissue is not necessary.
In order to eliminate the fistula tract as gently as possible, defined energy is being emitted radially into the fistula tract by using a novel fiber. The epithelialized tissue is being destroyed in a controlled way and the fistula tract collapses. This also supports and accelerates the healing process.
The flexible, radial emitting laser fiber is inserted from the outside and positioned exactly by using the pilot beam.
By constantly pulling back the fiber energy is introduced into the fistula tract. The fistula immediately shrinks behind the fiber tip.
First results are very promising (post-operative check period up to 9 months) and will be published shortly.
