Filter by:Patients with anal fistula who will undergo anal fistulotomy will be randomized into one of two groups; the first group will receive topical phenytoin therapy postoperatively and the second group will not receive such topical treatment.
Perianal fistula is a chronic phase of anorectal infection that occurs predominantly in the third and fourth decade of life. According to Parks classification fistulas have been divided into intersphincteric, transsphincteric, suprasphincteric and extrasphincteric. Simple fistulotomy can be performed with satisfactory outcomes in low fistula tracts but in high (transsphincteric) fistulas it may affect anal continence seriously. Therefore sphincter preserving procedures should be preferred in these cases. Rectal advancement mucosal flap (RAF) is one of the methods used in surgical fistula eradication with high success rate in cryptoglandular fistulas. However, this technique is technically demanding and results can be expert depended with wide spread of healing rates (24-100%) in individual studies as referred in recent systematic review. Ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract (LIFT) has been presented in 2007 as a simple sphincter preserving technique. The success rate varies between 40-95% with low overall incontinence rate (6%). The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of the LIFT and RAF procedure for treatment of high perianal fistulas.
Effectiveness of silver nitrate solution in treatment of anal fistula is is aimed to be investigated.
CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers to help in the advancement of research in over 7,000 rare diseases. The registry is free for patients to enroll and researchers to access. Visit sanfordresearch.org/CoRDS to enroll.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate, in patients treated with adalimumab, the efficacy of proctological surgery in anoperineal fistula healing after the removal of seton drain.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether human acellular dermal matrix plug is effective in the treatment of anal fistula
Anal fistulae are a difficult problem to treat. The optimal treatment for fistula involving the anal sphincter is unclear. Two standardly used methods of treatment are the ligation of intersphincteric fistula track (LIFT) procedure and the use of an anal fistula plug. The purpose of this study is to exam the rate of fistula closure between the LIFT procedure and the use of a fistula plug
