International Faculty Presentation on MRI-Guided Fistula Surgery:
Dr. Samrat Jankar has been invited as an International Faculty Presenter at the 33rd Biennial Congress of the International Society of University Colon and Rectal Surgeons — ISUCRS 2026, being held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. During this prestigious international congress, he will deliver a Virtual Live Presentation on MRI-Guided Fistula Surgery, sharing his approach to the evaluation, mapping, planning and surgical management of complex anal fistula.
About the Presentation:
MRI-Guided Fistula Surgery:
Anal fistula can be simple, complex, recurrent or associated with multiple hidden tracts. Proper diagnosis and detailed mapping are important before planning surgery.
In this virtual live session, Dr. Samrat Jankar will explain how MRI findings can help identify:
- The main fistula tract
- Internal and external openings
- Secondary branches
- Hidden extensions
- Abscess cavities
- Involvement of the anal sphincter muscles
- Previous surgical changes in recurrent cases
These findings help the surgeon plan a more precise and individualised surgical approach.
What the Session Will Cover?
The presentation will include the complete clinical and surgical approach to fistula-in-ano.
1️⃣ Patient History and Clinical Assessment:
A detailed patient history helps understand the duration of symptoms, previous abscesses, discharge, pain, swelling and earlier fistula surgeries.
2️⃣ MRI Fistula Mapping
MRI can provide a clear picture of the fistula pathway and its relation to the surrounding muscles and tissues.
3️⃣ Surgical Planning:
The choice of procedure depends on the fistula type, location, complexity, MRI findings and sphincter involvement.
4️⃣ Instrumentation and Patient Positioning
The session will explain the instruments used during fistula surgery and the importance of correct patient positioning.
5️⃣ Step-by-Step Surgical Approach
Dr. Samrat Jankar will demonstrate the key steps involved in the surgical management of the selected case.
6️⃣ Postoperative Care and Follow-Up
Proper wound care, regular follow-up and patient guidance are important parts of recovery after fistula surgery.
A Proud International Recognition:
Being invited as an International Faculty Presenter at ISUCRS 2026 is an important recognition of Dr. Samrat Jankar’s focused work in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of anal fistula.

Why MRI Matters in Fistula Surgery?
Every fistula is different. Some fistula tracts may be clearly visible during examination, while others can have deeper branches or hidden extensions. MRI fistula mapping may help the surgeon understand the complete pathway before surgery. It can also support better planning in complex and recurrent cases.
MRI may help identify:
- The exact fistula route
- The internal opening
- Side branches
- Abscess formation
- Muscle involvement
- Areas affected by previous surgery
MRI is an important planning tool, but the final treatment decision is based on clinical examination, imaging findings and the surgeon’s assessment.
