Hi
Thanks for your query
AV Fistula is a surgery done to prepare a patient for hemodialysis.
If you are on hemodialysis or if your doctor is planning to start dialysis then it is advisable to get this surgery done.
Usually it is a minor surgery done under local anesthesia.
Hope this helps
Good luck
