Misdiagnosed for 5 years in Croatia, 47-year-old woman treated successfully in Pune
Pune: Anela Radic, a 47-year-old woman patient from Croatia was diagnosed and treated successfully for complex blind anal fistula at Healing Hands Clinic based in Pune. The patient was misdiagnosed earlier and later had undergone four unsuccessful surgeries in Croatia in last five years.
Anela has always been a sport active person with routine bowel habit, no history of children and no history of overly tight or spastic anal sphincter muscles. In September 2013, she had undergone ligation procedure on hemorrhoid. After this procedure she developed acute anal fissure which later became chronic with hyperthropied anal papilla and skin tags. Topical treatments only resulted in fissure healing to certain size but it never healed completely. Later in May 2017, she underwent a new surgery but as a consequence of abscess incision the anal fistula developed.
Anela said, “I read about the Distal Laser Proximal Ligation procedure carried out at Healing Hands Clinic based in Pune. The DLPL seems an easier recovery for patient from classic flap surgery. So I contacted Dr. Ashwin Porwal and asked him if he has solution in my case.”
Dr. Ashwin Porwal said, “Anela was misdiagnosed for fissure and had undergone four surgeries in Croatia in last five years. With the help of a 3D Endo Anal Imaging available at Healing Hands Clinic we diagnosed her problem accurately. She was treated using our special DLPL technique and has recovered fast.”
“DLPL technique is useful for treating recurrent and complicated fistulas. It also offers various benefits to the patients as well as doctors. DLPL helps early recovery of patients and prevention of recurrence of fistula,” Dr Porwal added
