Some Important Things You Should Know about Fistula

Fistulas are the inflammation caused by some injury as well as surgery that leads to sores or ulcers that are formed on the inside wall of the intestine or nearby organs. The ulcers can extend through the entire thickness of the bowel wall, creating the tunnel to drain the pus from the area infected through this.

Fistulas are formed from inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. There are different types of fistulas and the fistula operation cost varies according to the type of fistula and the severity of the case.
