Abstract
|
|
Aims:
Several techniques have been described for the management of fistula-in-ano. Ideal surgical treatment for anal fistula should aim to eradicate sepsis and promote healing of the tract, whilst preserving the sphincters and the mechanism of continence. This study offers our technique to achieve this goal.
Methods: Between January 2013 and December 2014, 77 patients with high perianal fistula were treated by fistulectomy and repair of the anal wound and sphincter by multiple Lasheen's sutures. The clinical outcome was assessed in terms of continence and recurrence for follow-up period (ranged from 3 to 24 months). Results: The anorectal wounds were healed within 4 to 6 weeks. Early complications included superficial wound infection in 27 patients (35%), urine retention 21 patients (27%), transient incontinence in 41 patients (53%) for flatus for period ranged from 2 to 3 weeks. No permanent incontinence, no deep infection, or abscess formation, or recurrence was recorded during the follow-up period. Conclusion: Our technique is easy, novel, and associated with good results for high perianal fistula management. | |
