Does Advanced Age Increase the Recurrence of Perianal Fistulas?

Abstract

Introduction: Perianal fistulas are diseases that treated difficulty. It is usually easy to diagnose; but it may need additional tests. Age is an important factor in wound healing. In this study, we examined whether the advanced age has a relevance with the recurrence of perianal fistula. Methods: There were 242 patients between January 2010 and January 2016 with fistulotomy + curettage. These patients had been operated at least twice because of the recurrences(13 patients two times and 5 patients three times). These patients' gender, age, type of fistula and distance from external opening to the anal canal was recorded, retrospectively. Results: When comparing Group 1 and Group 2; was not statistically significant in terms of the gender, distance from external opening of the fistula to the anal canal and fistula type. In additionally, there was no statistically significant difference with advanced age. Discussion and Conclusion: In this study we found that; age, gender, distance from the opening of the fistula to the anal canal and fistula type do not seem influential in the recurrence of perianal fistulas. Age has emerged as an important factor in wound healing but in this study, it was not statistically significant at fistula recurrence. Keywords:
