EUA + Drainage
Examination Under Anaesthesia with drainage of any associated abscess — used for fissures complicated by abscess, severe pain, or unclear anatomy that cannot be assessed in the clinic.
What is EUA + Drainage?
EUA + Drainage (Examination Under Anaesthesia with Drainage) is a focused procedure used for fissures or anorectal conditions that are too painful for clinic assessment, or are complicated by an associated abscess. Under spinal or short general anaesthesia, a comprehensive examination accurately maps the fissure, any associated abscess or fistula, and surrounding anatomy. Any abscess is drained in the same sitting, providing immediate pain relief and allowing further treatment to be planned safely. As a female proctologist in Hyderabad, Dr. Tejasree Vengala performs EUA + drainage at Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad.
How the Procedure Works
Anaesthesia & Positioning
The procedure is performed under spinal or short general anaesthesia. The patient is positioned comfortably in lithotomy position.
Comprehensive Examination
A thorough examination is carried out — including digital examination, proctoscopy, and probing — to clearly define all anatomy.
Abscess Identification & Drainage
Any associated abscess is identified, opened, drained completely, and the cavity gently washed with saline.
Tract / Fissure Mapping
Any associated fistula tract or chronic fissure features are clearly mapped for definitive treatment planning.
Recovery & Planning
Patients are usually discharged the same day with detailed wound care advice and a clear plan for further definitive surgery if needed.
Outcomes

Discreet, sensitive care by a female proctologist
Sometimes the most important thing we can do for a patient in severe anorectal pain is simply to give them gentle anaesthesia, examine them properly, drain whatever needs draining, and then plan the rest calmly. Rushing into definitive surgery without a clear map rarely serves the patient well.

The final cost may vary depending on your individual condition, findings during evaluation, complexity of the abscess or suspected fistula, and whether any additional procedures are required.
Factors That Influence EUA + Drainage Cost
The overall cost may depend on:
- →
Complexity and location of the abscess: The depth, location, extent of infection, and presence of a suspected fistula may influence treatment planning and surgical complexity.
- →
Pre-procedure evaluation: Required clinical examination, imaging such as MRI when needed, blood tests, and medical assessments before the procedure may affect the overall cost.
- →
Additional procedures: If procedures such as seton placement, fistulotomy, fistulectomy, or other anorectal interventions are required during the same procedure, the cost may vary.
- →
Hospital stay and post-procedure care: The duration of admission, medicines, wound care, dressing requirements, dietary guidance, and follow-up may influence the final estimate.
