Year 2025, Volume: 9 Issue: 2, 187 - 192, 31.08.2025

Ufuk Tali , Hakan Balbaloglu

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, perianal fistül hastalığında farklı tedavi seçeneklerinin sonuçlarını tek bir büyük hasta kohortunda araştırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 2020-2024 yılları arasında ameliyat edilen 176 ardışık hasta retrospektif olarak dahil edildi. Başvuru
semptomları (akıntı, şişlik vb.), perianal fistül tipleri (basit, intersfinkterik, ekstrasfinkterik vb.) ve cerrahi tedaviler (seton, fistülotomi, lazer
vb.) belirlendi
Bulgular: Çalışmamızda dört hastada malign patoloji sonucu saptandı. Bu hastaların ortak özelliği ileri yaşta olmaları ve kronik akıntı
şikayeti ile sağlık merkezlerine başvurmamış olmalarıydı.
Sonuç: Bu tür destekleyici görüntüleme ve tanısal işlemler, doğru tanı ve uygun tedavinin belirlenmesini kolaylaştırarak tedavi başarısını
artırabilir ve komplikasyon riskini azaltabilir.

Surgical Treatment Protocols and Risk of Malignancy in Perianal Fistulas: A Single-Center Retrospective Study

Year 2025, Volume: 9 Issue: 2, 187 - 192, 31.08.2025

Ufuk Tali , Hakan Balbaloglu

Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the outcomes of different treatment options for perianal fistula disease in a single large patient
cohort.
Material and Methods: The study retrospectively included 176 consecutive patients operated between 2020 and 2024. Symptoms at
presentation (discharge, swelling, etc.), perianal fistula types (simple, intersphincteric, extrasphincteric, etc.) and surgical treatments (seton,
fistulotomy, laser, etc.) were determined
Results: In our study, malignant pathology results were found in four patients. The common feature of these patients was their advanced
age and the fact that they had not applied to health centres with complaints of chronic discharge.
Conclusion: Such supportive imaging and diagnostic procedures may improve treatment success and reduce the risk of complications by
facilitating accurate diagnosis and determination of appropriate treatment
