Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of laser treatment for fistulas, a common yet challenging condition due to its recurrent nature. Despite various treatment approaches, a significant knowledge gap exists regarding the long-term success rates and patient quality of life post-surgery. Using clinical data from 87 patients across different hospitals in Iraq, this research employs a retrospective analysis of medical records to assess laser surgery outcomes. The findings reveal that laser fistula surgery has a high success rate (73.56% excellent, 22.99% good) with minimal complications, lower pain levels, and improved quality of life. The results suggest that laser surgery is an optimal treatment for fistulas, offering faster recovery and reduced recurrence rates. These implications highlight the potential of laser treatment as a preferred method, encouraging further adoption and study to enhance surgical outcomes for fistula patients.
