The cutting seton technique with the tractus medialisation in the long tractus anal fistula (New technical description).

Abstract

ABSTRACT The technical description and results of the new cutting seton therapy which is converting the long anal fistula tract into low transsifink tract is presented. In this study, a new treatment method and long-term results are described. We applied this treatment on the long tract transsifinkteric fistula whose external openings were above 5 cm from the anal canal. The opening points of long tract transsifinkteric fistulas in the anal canal were localized in 6 male patients with ages of 37- 60 years old. Then the dissection was progressed upto intersphincteric distance around of the external opening and the dissected lateral part of the fistula was excised. A seton was put into remaining medial tract and the lateral end of the seton was passed through the tunnel which was opened subcutanously and then pulled into the anal canal. This techniqueis named as ‘Fistula Tract Medialisation' that is the remaining fistula tract was converted to the low transsifinkteric tract with the seton. The skin incision was partly sutured from the medial portion and left open for drainage and seconder improving. The remaining tract and surrounding tissue were cut within 6-18 weeks by narrowing cutting seton in two weeks apart under local anesthesia. A complication was not observed except a wound infection in a case and temporary minimal anal incontinance in 3 patients. The complete recovery was observed in all cases which had at least 28 months of follow-up period. We express that the defined technique is an effective and safely applicable method in the long tract fistulas despite the limited number of included cases.
