AI Article Synopsis
- Complete tract excision for complex anal fistulas often includes immediate repair of the sphincter that was divided during the procedure.
- A study involving 60 patients was conducted to evaluate the safety and feasibility of this approach.
- The findings indicated that using polydioxanone or polyglactin 910 for the sphincter repair yields similar results in terms of outcomes.
Article Abstract
Complete tract excision for complex fistula-in-ano, where the sphincter, is divided is increasingly being followed by immediate sphincter repair. We concluded, by a prospective study conducted on 60 consecutive patients, that this procedure is feasible and safe, and polydioxanone and polyglactin 910 in repair result in a comparable outcome.
