Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine safety and efficacy of eASCs (expanded adult stem cells) for treatment of complex perianal fistulas in patients with Crohn's disease.
The purpose of this study is to asses the safety and efficacy of adipose-derived adult stem cells from healthy donnors for treatment of complex perianal fistulas in Crohn's disease.
The primary purpose of this prospective, multicenter, observational, single arm study is to further substantiate efficacy of the GORE® BIO-A® Fistula Plug when used as a soft tissue reinforcement of anal fistula repair and healing.
This study comprises a prospective study of 40 patients with transphincteric anal fistula. The patients were classified into two groups: Group I: Fistulectomy, closure of internal sphincter and rectal advancement flap includes mucosa, submucosa, and circular muscle layer sutured 1cm below the level of internal opening. Group II: The same as group one but the flap includes only mucosa and submucosa.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the outcome of anal fistula repair with a collagen plug is comparable to that of repair by a mucosal advancement flap.
The purpose of this extension is to investigate and confirm the long-term (6 months) safety and efficacy of the preceding FATT-1 trial [ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NTC00475410], which studied patients with perianal fistula treated having received adipose-derived adult stem cell (ASC)and/or fibrin glue.
Purpose: This randomized study assesses the effects of antibiotics on the formation of fistulae after drainage of anorectal abscesses. Methods: Patients who underwent abscess drainage in 3 major colorectal units between September 2005 and January 2008 were included. Previous anorectal surgery history, immunecompromised states, pregnancy, inflammatory bowel disease, antibiotic usage prior to surgery and the presence of an anal fistulae at the time of surgery were the exclusion criteria. Patients were randomized and given either placebo or amoxicillin-clavulanic acid combination treatment for 10 days. Patients were followed one year for perianal fistulae formation.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether human acellular dermal matrix plug is effective in the treatment of anal fistula
Surgical treatment of perianal fistulas frequently affects fecal continence. Sphincter saving techniques like loose or cutting seton and fistulectomy with advancement of an endorectal flap have been advocated to minimize the risk of sphincter injury, but patients often complain of a prolonged healing period and major discomfort. Furthermore, the healing rate varies widely according to the type of fistula and the surgeon's experience.In the early '90s the treatment of perianal fistulas by autologous or commercial fibrin glue was suggested and the American FDA approved the use and marketing of a human fibrin glue in 1998. Since then, several studies have evaluated the effectiveness of human fibrin glue in the treatment of different types of perianal fistulas, reporting a wide range of success rates ranging from 31 to 85%. Primary aim of this study is to conduct a prospective randomized trial evaluating the effectiveness of glue treatment of perianal fistulas as compared with the classical seton treatment. Secondary aims are to compare postoperative faecal incontinence, postoperative anal pain, healing time and length of hospitalization.
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
