The purpose of this study is to determine if endothelial cells derived from human umbilical vein are safe for use in conjunction with fistulotomy for the treatment of simple anal fistulas. Endothelial cells are a special kind of cell in the body that line the inside surface of blood vessels. The goal of the study is to evaluate the preliminary safety of human umbilical vein cells in anal fistula healing.
Anal Fistula can be a challenging condition to treat. Microdialysis has never before been used to examine the inner environment of anal fistula. This is now going to be performed.
Laser closure of the perianal fistula is the minimally invasive and low complication rate procedure which is a life-saving way for complex fistulas, preserving anal sphincter injury. Unfortunately, wide range success rate reported before (30-80%), the investigators are searching to reach better rates. Internal closure of the fistula orifice offered by some authors. The investigators are aimed to identify the efficiency of this.
The optimal method of surgical treatment of complex anorectal fistulas has not been found yet. The aim of this study is to compare two techniques in treatment of high anorectal fistulas. This study purpose to demonstrate that the fistulectomy with dissection from 1/3 to 2/3 of the height of the sphincter complex with primary suturing is technically simpler, equally effective and safe in comparison with muco-muscular endorectal advancement flap.
The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the local injection of autologous micro-fragmented adipose tissue obtained with the Lipogems®system in patients with trans-sphincteric fistulas untreatable with fistulotomy.
This randomized and placebo controlled study investigates the efficacy of injections with freshly harvested autologous adipose tissue in CD patients with complex perianal fistulas refractory to standard surgical and/or medical treatment. 140 CD patients will be included and randomized to either treatment with freshly harvested autologous adipose tissue or placebo (saline). Primary outcome measures are clinical healing 6 months after treatment evaluated by clinical examination and pelvic MRI.
Fistula is a pathology that can be complex and lead to treatment difficulties for the proctologist. The proctologist's objective is to treat the infection (anal fistula and abscess) with the minimum impact on anal continence. Drainage of the fistula pathway(s) and removal of infected tissue during initial surgery are essential. The treatment of upper trans-sphincterial fistulas, i. e. those that span more than half the height of the anal sphincter, poses risks to anal continence. It sometimes requires several times of surgical treatment. The study aim to investigate the fate of all patients treated for anal fistula in an expert team, in terms of impact on healing and anal continence and according to the type of anal fistula, the co-morbidity, the surgical techniques used and the bacterial flora responsible.
Prospective comparative parallel ultrasound diagnostic transrectal study in the diagnosis of cryptogenic fistulas of the rectum
Phase of Investigation: First-in-human feasibility study Objectives: Primary objective: Demonstration that TIPS microspheres do not compromise the clinical condition or safety of the patient. Secondary objective: To demonstrate that TIPS microspheres facilitate natural healing in the context of perianal fistula. Type of Investigation: First-in-human single site, open label, feasibility study to assess the safety of TIPS microspheres in perianal fistulas and indicative functionality. Investigation design and methods: First-in-human single delivery of a bioabsorbable device to treat perianal fistula. A standard of care internal flap procedure performed to close the internal fistula opening and up to 300 mg of TIPS microspheres will be inserted into each perianal fistula. Participants will be assessed for healing, inflammation, abscess, sepsis, pain and continence by clinical assessments, blood tests, MRI and questionnaires.
