Mohali doctor develops new technique
Chandigarh, October 11 The AFP method has revolutionised the treatment of anal fistula and has already been approved for clinical use by the highest standard enforcing authority of America. While talking to mediapersons, Dr Garg said that anal fistula affects lakhs of people all over the world. It has afflicted mankind for centuries but till date there had been no satisfactory treatment available. Almost 10,000 patients have been suffering from the disease in Chandigarh alone, he said. Conventionally Surgery — Fistulutomy or Fistulectomy — has been the mainstay of treatment. This treatment was more complex as it required three operations in a staged manner. The new method, AFP, has dramatically changed the way the complex disease is treated, he added. According to Dr Garg, “The treatment requires the placement and fixing of the plug in anal fistula by a special technique. The plug is made of highly sophisticated absorbable material which provides the scaffold over which body’s collagen gets deposited and closes the fistula.” Dr Garg said that comparative studies have shown that this method is very effective as there was no cutting involved. Moreover, the patient could be discharged and can join work the same day. Dr Pankaj Garg, who did his Masters from the prestigious All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, is a well-known laparoscopic surgeon of the region. He has the credit of founding World Piles Day which is observed all over the world on November 20 every year. He is the force behind popularising the Stapler Technique for treatment of piles. He has treated scores of patients by this technique in the region. He is also the founder President of ABCDE - Association for Breast Cancer Death Eradication. |
