How Transanal Mucosal Advancement Flap Repair is performed
This procedure is often used for fistulas with the internal opening on the rectal side. Typically, it is performed transanally under anesthesia, identifying the fistula tract, cleaning the granulation tissue, and closing the internal opening. Subsequently, a rectal mucosal/submucosal advancement flap with blood supply is created, advanced to cover the defect, and sutured to reduce tension. Endoscopy or ultrasound can be used intraoperatively for localization and hemostasis monitoring. Postoperative observation focuses on bleeding, infection, and bowel movements, with the goal of promoting fistula healing and restoring the local barrier. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
