FISTULA
From Origins to Options Fistula Causes,
Symptoms, and Treatment Insights
3

• A fistula is an abnormal connection between two
  hollow spaces, such as blood vessels or
  intestines. Types include anal fistulas,
  anovaginal fistulas, and colonovaginal fistulas.
  Urinary tract fistulas are abnormal openings or
  connections between organs. They can result from
  infection, inflammation, injury, or surgery.
  Treatment variSes, often involving surgical
  intervention and antibiotic therapy. In some
  cases, the fistula is temporarily covered with
  fibrin glue or plug, and catheters may be needed
  to drain the fistula.

• WHAT IS FISTULA?

4
CAUSES

• Infections
• Inflammatory Conditions
• Trauma
• Underlying Medical Conditions
• Surgical Complications
• Congenital Factors
• Chronic Irritation or Pressure
• Medical Interventions

5

• Infections Infections weaken tissues, forming
  abscesses, which can accumulate pus, creating
  tunnels and eventually fistulas, such as anal
  fistulas.
• Inflammatory Conditions Chronic inflammation in
  conditions like Crohn's disease increases the
  risk of fistula development due to tissue damage,
  erosion, and abnormal connections, affecting the
  gastrointestinal tract.
• Trauma Physical injuries, trauma, and surgeries
  can cause tissue and organ damage, leading to
  fistula formation during healing.
• Underlying Medical Conditions Inflammatory bowel
  diseases like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis
  increase fistula risk due to medical conditions.

6

• Surgical Complications Surgical procedures can
  cause unintended consequences like fistulas due
  to poor wound healing, infection, or organ
  proximity during surgery, aiming to heal and
  repair.
• Congenital Factors Some individuals are born
  with conditions that make them more prone to
  fistulas. For example, congenital conditions like
  tracheoesophageal fistulas are present from birth
  and involve an abnormal connection between the
  trachea and esophagus.
• Chronic Irritation or Pressure Prolonged
  irritation or pressure on tissues can lead to
  tissue breakdown and the formation of openings or
  tunnels.
• Medical Interventions In some cases, medical
  interventions involve intentionally creating
  fistulas for specific purposes

SYMPTOMS

• Anal Fistula
• Pain or discomfort around the anus.
• Swelling or a lump near the anus.
• Recurrent anal abscesses.
• Pus or fluid discharge from the opening near the
  anus.
• 2. Anovaginal or Rectovaginal Fistula
• Passage of gas or stool through the vagina.
• Vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odor.
• Recurrent urinary tract infections.
• Irritation and discomfort in the vaginal area.

• 3. Colovaginal Fistula
• Passage of gas or stool through the vagina.
• Vaginal discharge.
• Abdominal pain or discomfort.
• 4. Urinary Tract Fistula (e.g. Vesicovaginal
  Fistula)
• Urinary incontinence (involuntary leakage of
  urine).
• Recurrent urinary tract infections.
• Passage of urine through the vagina.
• Irritation or discomfort in the genital area.
• 5. Enteroenteral, Enterocutaneous, and
  Colocutaneous Fistulas
• Abdominal pain or cramping.
• Diarrhea.

• Conservative Management
• Surgical Intervention
• Fibrin Glue or Plugs
• Medical Therapy
• Catheter Drainage
• Colostomy or Diversion
• Lifestyle Modifications

• TREATMENT OPTIONS

11

• Conservative Management
• For some small and uncomplicated fistulas,
  conservative management might involve antibiotics
  to treat any associated infections and promote
  healing.
• Pain management and wound care may also be
  included in the conservative approach.
• 2. Surgical Intervention
• Surgical closure is often necessary for complex
  or persistent fistulas. Surgical procedures aim
  to close the abnormal connection and promote
  healing of the surrounding tissues.
• The specific surgical technique used depends on
  the location and complexity of the fistula.
  Procedures may involve cutting out the fistula
  tract, repositioning tissues, and suturing the
  affected area.

12

• 3. Fibrin Glue or Plugs
• In some cases, a fibrin glue or plug may be used
  to temporarily seal the fistula tract. This
  approach is often used in less complex fistulas
  and can help promote healing.
• 4. Seton Placement
• A seton is a piece of material (such as a rubber
  band or surgical thread) that is placed through
  the fistula tract to keep it open. This approach
  is sometimes used to allow the fistula to drain
  and heal gradually, reducing the risk of
  complications.
• 5. Medical Therapy
• In certain cases, medical therapy such as
  immunosuppressive drugs or medications that
  reduce inflammation might be used, especially for
  individuals with underlying conditions like
  Crohn's disease.

13

• 6. Catheter Drainage
• In cases where continuous drainage is necessary,
  such as with some urinary tract fistulas, a
  catheter may be inserted to facilitate the
  drainage of fluids until the fistula can be
  treated or managed more definitively.
• 7. Colostomy or Diversion
• In complex cases, where the fistula is difficult
  to treat or if there's a risk of complications, a
  temporary colostomy or urinary diversion may be
  performed. This involves rerouting the stool or
  urine away from the affected area to allow it to
  heal.
• 8. Lifestyle Modifications
• Depending on the type of fistula, lifestyle
  changes like dietary adjustments and proper
  hygiene practices might be recommended to prevent
  complications and promote healing.
