How it works

Bookimed is free for patients – clinics pay us a commission, and you pay the clinic its own price with no markup. Five steps to your fistula laser surgery in Thailand:

  1. Share your case

    Tell us about your condition and share your latest scans and medical reports.

  2. Get treatment plans

    Your coordinator finds clinics that match your needs and helps you choose. Your preferred clinics then send personalized treatment plans and quotes for you to compare.

  3. Plan your trip

    We set treatment dates that work for you and help arrange your flights and accommodation. If needed, we request a visa support letter from the clinic.

  4. Visit the clinic

    The clinic team performs your fistula laser surgery on the agreed dates. We support you throughout your trip.

  5. Recover at home

    You can fly home 5–7 days after surgery, with fistula healing assessed over 1–3 months. Your coordinator stays in touch and helps arrange a follow-up if you need one.

Some clinics ask for a deposit. A $200 or €200 deposit paid through Bookimed comes off your clinic bill and is refundable up to 10 calendar days before your visit. A deposit paid to the clinic follows its own terms.

How to choose a Fistula Laser Surgery clinic in Thailand

For fistula laser surgery in Thailand, match the surgeon to the technique you need, confirm the care setting, arrange follow-up, discuss expectations, and read patient reviews.

What to check

  • Match the surgeon

    Ask whether the doctor you consult will perform the fistula laser surgery technique you need, and discuss their training and qualifications.
  • Confirm qualifications and setting

    Ask whether the operating doctor is licensed by the Medical Council of Thailand, and whether the facility can provide hospital-based care and anesthesia if needed.
  • Arrange follow-up

    Agree who will manage care and complications after you return home.
  • Discuss expectations

    Fistula laser surgery is not guaranteed to succeed and may require more than one operation.
  • Read patient reviews

    Consider comments about the doctor, care, and trip, rather than relying on the score alone.

Is a Fistula Laser Surgery right for you?

Fistula laser surgery in Thailand may be an option to treat a primary transsphincteric anal fistula or a recurrent or complex fistula after drainage and seton placement. Whether it suits you usually depends on the fistula’s tract and whether infection or inflammation is controlled.

Fistula laser surgery may suit you if:

  • You have a primary cryptoglandular anal fistula that crosses the sphincter muscles.
  • Your anal fistula returned after sepsis drainage and seton placement.
  • You have a complex anal fistula after sepsis drainage and seton placement.

Consider another option or wait if:

  • You have an active abscess or untreated sepsis. Have the abscess drained and sepsis treated first.
  • Your fistula tract is very short or superficial. Ask about other treatments.
  • An anorectal cancer is causing your fistula.
  • You have active severe Crohn's proctitis or IBD that is not under control. Ask your doctor to assess and control the inflammation before reconsidering surgery.

If your fistula is simple, fistulotomy may be an option. If you want a sphincter-preserving alternative, ask about a medicated seton.

Before you book:

  • Bring your pelvic or perianal fistula MRI report and colonoscopy report.
  • Bring reports from previous fistula surgeries.
  • Bring your endoanal ultrasound report, if available.
  • Ask: “Does my fistula have a well-defined tract that could suit FiLaC?”
  • Ask: “Does an abscess or sepsis need to be treated before surgery?”

Bookimed helps you find clinics and pass on your records and questions. The clinic's doctor reviews them and decides whether fistula laser surgery suits you.

Fistula Laser Surgery recovery timeline: what to expect week by week

You can fly home 5–7 days after surgery after a wound check and once pain, discharge, and bowel function are settled, with your surgeon’s clearance to sit during travel. Office-type work may resume in 1–7 days after laser closure of an uncomplicated fistula, depending on fistula complexity and job demands. You can resume strenuous exercise after 2–4 weeks, once your wound is comfortable and your surgeon agrees. Your fistula tract’s healing is assessed over 1–3 months and may take longer for complex fistulas.

  1. First days

    You may have mild pain and some discharge for several days, controlled with simple analgesics. Walking is allowed, but avoid heavy lifting. Have an in-person wound check 4–7 days after surgery before flying home.

  2. Weeks 1–4

    You can fly home 5–7 days after surgery after your wound check, once pain, discharge, and bowel function are settled, with your surgeon’s clearance to sit. As the external opening heals, return gradually to normal activity and avoid strenuous exercise for 2–4 weeks.

  3. Months 1–3

    Your clinician assesses healing of the tract over 1–3 months, and complex fistulas may take longer. Recurrence may appear during this period, so attend the routine healing assessment 42–90 days after surgery.

When to contact your clinic: Contact your clinic for heavy bleeding from the wound, fever or chills, or foul-smelling discharge or swelling. For chest pain or sudden breathlessness after a long flight, seek emergency help locally.

Traveling to Thailand for a Fistula Laser Surgery

Plan to stay in Thailand for 5–7 days, including up to 1 night in hospital, after the procedure before flying home. US and UK passport holders can stay without a visa for up to 30 days, and a longer stay for planned medical treatment may need a medical-treatment visa.

When What happens
Before the procedure Arrival, consultation and agreed tests
4–7 days after Check-up
5–7 days after Flight home

Before you fly

  • Visa. US and UK passport holders can stay without a visa for up to 30 days. A longer stay for planned medical treatment may need a medical-treatment visa. US tourists entering for fewer than 60 days must complete pre-arrival online registration.
  • Passport. US passport holders are strongly recommended to have a passport valid for at least six months beyond their arrival date. UK passports must expire at least six months after arrival and have at least one blank page.
  • Medicines. US travelers should carry prescription medication in its original packaging with a doctor’s prescription. US travelers should check with Thailand Customs and the Food and Drug Administration that their medication is legal in Thailand. Hospitals and pharmacies in Thailand will usually accept UK prescriptions.
  • Hand luggage. Bring a pelvic or perianal fistula MRI report, colonoscopy report, and previous fistula surgery operative reports. Bring perianal photos and an endoanal ultrasound report if available.

Getting there and staying

  • Airports. Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is 25 km from downtown Bangkok. Don Mueang Airport (DMK) is 23 km from the Grand Palace.
  • Flight time. London is about 9,600 km from Bangkok, with 11–12 hours of flying time. New York is about 13,900 km away, with 16–17 hours of flying time. A connection adds time.
  • Emergency. In a medical emergency, call 191 and ask for an ambulance.

When to go

  • Weather. Bangkok’s average daytime highs are about 31 °C in September–January and about 35 °C in April–May. May–October are the wettest months, with 100 mm of rain or more.
  • Season. November to February is drier, though days remain warm. April to October is harder for a recovery trip because it is hotter and the wettest months bring heavy rain.

Insurance and changes

  • Health insurance. US travelers should make sure their health insurance covers them overseas. Medicare and Medicaid do not apply overseas. UK travelers cannot use a UK GHIC or UK EHIC in Thailand.
  • Hospital payment. Hospitals in Thailand require a guarantee of payment before treating patients.

Flying home

  • Fit to fly. You can fly home once pain, discharge, and bowel function are settled, with your surgeon’s clearance to sit during travel.
  • Take home. Take your discharge information and any personal discharge letter home.

Everything perfect
The information was partly very good, and the clinic is perfect. However, what the price for this very good service is, should have been clearer from the beginning of the process – that was my biggest concern. Nevertheless, my doctor instilled confidence by personally conducting all examinations, showing me my eye scans, and explaining the appropriate laser technique for the surgery on my one eye. Everything perfect. So far, recovery is proceeding as expected. The clinic remains in contact and is easily reachable, which greatly supports the aftercare. I cannot advise anything for the preparation as everything necessary was available on site.
Sometimes very good information on what to do! Perfect clinic!
What is the price for this very good information must be clear to see from the beginning of the process.
