Closure of multiple fistulae involves the surgical repair of several abnormal connections or passages that may develop in various anatomical locations. These fistulae can arise from congenital defects, previous surgeries, infections, or other medical conditions. Dr. Ghulam Qadir Fayyaz, renowned for his expertise in plastic and reconstructive surgeries, offers specialized techniques to effectively close multiple fistulae and restore normal tissue function.
Multiple fistulae present unique challenges due to their varied locations and potential complexities. They may cause symptoms such as drainage, discomfort, or increased susceptibility to infections, significantly impacting the patient’s quality of life. Dr. Fayyaz utilizes advanced surgical skills and a patient-centered approach to develop individualized treatment plans that address these specific challenges and optimize outcomes.
Dr. Ghulam Qadir Fayyaz conducts a thorough consultation to assess the patient’s medical history, evaluate all fistulae, and discuss treatment options. Detailed planning ensures patient understanding and comfort throughout the surgical process.
Closure of multiple fistulae is typically performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Ghulam Qadir Fayyaz meticulously excises each fistulous tract and reconstructs the affected areas to restore normal tissue continuity and function. The procedure aims to achieve optimal closure and promote comprehensive healing.
Post-operative care includes monitoring for healing, managing pain, and providing instructions for wound care and follow-up appointments. Dr. Ghulam Qadir Fayyaz ensures comprehensive support during the recovery period to optimize outcomes and minimize complications.
Patients with multiple fistulae may present with:
Drainage and Discomfort: Multiple fistulae can lead to persistent drainage of fluid or pus, causing discomfort, irritation, and skin breakdown in affected areas. Increased Risk of Infections: The presence of multiple fistulae increases the risk of recurrent infections, which can lead to systemic complications if left untreated. Functional Impairments: Depending on the location and extent of the fistulae, patients may experience limitations in movement, discomfort during daily activities, or other functional impairments.
Dr. Ghulam Qadir Fayyaz conducts thorough evaluations to assess the underlying causes and extent of the multiple fistulae, determining the most appropriate surgical approach for closure. This assessment includes a comprehensive review of the patient’s medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging to plan the surgical procedure effectively.
Patients requiring midline fistula closure typically experience:
Speech and Feeding Difficulties: Fistulas along the midline, especially in the palate, can disrupt speech patterns and affect swallowing, leading to nutritional deficiencies and other complications.
Nasal Regurgitation: Fistulas may cause nasal regurgitation, where food or liquids pass through the nasal cavity during swallowing, impacting both nutrition and comfort.
Aesthetic Concerns: Visible fistulas can affect facial aesthetics and self-confidence, particularly if they are in prominent areas.
Dr. Ghulam Qadir Fayyaz carefully evaluates each case to determine the underlying causes and assesses the best surgical approach for closure. This evaluation includes a comprehensive review of the patient’s medical history, physical examination, and sometimes imaging studies to accurately plan the surgical procedure.
Closure of multiple fistula will lead to improved voice production, patient’s voice will become more intelligible and understandable to the peers.
Closure of multiple fistulae alleviates drainage, discomfort, and other associated symptoms, improving the patient’s overall comfort and quality of life.
By closing the fistulae, the risk of recurrent infections and systemic complications is reduced, promoting better overall health and well-being.
Surgical closure restores normal tissue integrity and function, allowing for improved movement and comfort in the affected areas.
Closure of multiple fistulae requires meticulous surgical techniques tailored to each specific case. Dr. Fayyaz may employ a combination of techniques such as tissue grafts, local flap closure, or other reconstructive methods to address the unique characteristics of each fistula and achieve optimal closure. The goal is to restore normal tissue continuity while minimizing the risk of recurrence and preserving nearby tissue function.
Dr. Fayyaz’s approach emphasizes not only the closure of the fistulae but also the restoration of normal anatomical structure and function. This may include techniques to promote optimal wound healing, reduce scarring, and address any functional deficits caused by the fistulae.
Post-surgical care is essential to ensure the success of multiple fistulae 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 sites and ensure that the benefits of surgery are maintained over time. Patients are encouraged to maintain regular visits with their healthcare provider to monitor any potential changes and to receive ongoing support for optimal health and well-being following closure of multiple fistulae.

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.
