The 13th Live Fistula in Ano Operative Workshop took place on 11th August 2025 at Symbiosis Hospital & Research Center, Lavale, Pune, bringing together top gastrointestinal, colorectal, and general surgeons from across India. This highly specialized training was led by Dr. Samrat Jankar, a globally recognized Gastro & Colorectal Surgeon and the inventor of the PILTEC technique – a LASER-based modification of the LIFT procedure. Known for its high cure rate, zero risk of incontinence, and fast recovery, the PILTEC method is transforming the way complex anal fistulas are treated worldwide. The workshop combined live operative demonstrations, step-by-step procedural guidance, and interactive discussions to give participants an in-depth understanding of modern fistula management. Surgeons had the rare opportunity to learn directly from Dr. Jankar, observing real cases in the operating room and gaining practical knowledge they can immediately apply in their own clinical practice. This event was not just about surgical technique – it was also a platform for professional collaboration, knowledge sharing, and building a stronger network of fistula specialists across the country.
