Closure of a lateral fistula involves precise surgical techniques to eliminate the abnormal connection and restore normal tissue continuity. Dr. Fayyaz may utilize techniques such as tissue grafts, local flap closure, or other reconstructive methods tailored to the specific needs of the patient. The goal is to achieve effective closure while minimizing the risk of recurrence and preserving nearby tissue function. Dr. Fayyaz’s approach emphasizes not only the closure of the fistula but also the restoration of normal anatomy and function. This may include techniques to improve skin healing, reduce scarring, and address any functional impairments caused by the fistula.
Post-surgical care is essential to ensure the success of lateral fistula closure. Dr. Ghulam Qadir Fayyaz provides detailed instructions on wound care, pain management, and activity restrictions to support healing. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor recovery progress, assess surgical outcomes, and address any concerns that may arise. Long-term follow-up allows Dr. Fayyaz to evaluate the healed site and ensure that the benefits of surgery are maintained over time.

Cleft lip repair is usually recommended between 3 to 6 months of age, while cleft palate surgery is generally done between 9 to 18 months. However, treatment plans are personalized based on the patient’s health and specific condition.
Yes, cleft repair surgeries are not limited to infants or children. Adults can also undergo corrective surgery for cleft lip or palate, especially if they were untreated in childhood or have developed complications post-surgery.
Recovery depends on the type of procedure, but typically initial healing takes 1 to 2 weeks. Full recovery may take longer and may include speech therapy, dental follow-ups, or further surgical corrections.
Integrated cleft care means providing surgery, speech therapy, dental care, psychological support, and long-term follow-up—all in one coordinated approach. This ensures better outcomes and a smoother journey for both patients and families.
Surgeries are performed under general anesthesia, so children don’t feel pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is managed effectively through medications and professional care.
