Clinical Trial Summary

Anal fistula treatment is associated with increasing risk of anal incontinence until 40% of cases. New and alternative treatments (glue, advancement flap, plug…) decrease this risk, but with fistula efficacy treatment in 40 to 60% of cases. Radiofrequency might destroy fistula tract without lesion of anal sphincter. Objective : Fistula healing rate and anal continence, 6 and 12 months after radiofrequency procedure. Methods : Clinical and MRI evaluation before, 6 and 12 months after treatment. Patients : 50 patients with low, high, complex and Crohn disease fistula. An intermediate analysis is expected after the first 20 patients, to verify morbidity. Evaluations : - Fistula clinical healing 6 and 12 months after procedure - Fistula MRI healing 12 months after procedure - Anal continence before and after procedure - Feasibility og radiofrequency procedure - Morbidity - Success and failure prognostics factors of this procedure
