Abstract
AIM Minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of anal fistulas are gaining more and more popularity. For this purpose, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) are administered to accelerate the healing process of various difficult wounds or lesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate preliminary results of PRP injection into the tissues adjacent to anal fistulas. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cohort of 42 patients with recurrent anal fistula, who underwent at least one cutting procedure previously, were enrolled into this preliminary and prospective trial. Closure of internal orifice was performed in all investigated patients, however, in 22 patients from group I, that procedure was combined with topical injection of PRP. In the postoperative period, the PRP administration could be repeated in case of incomplete fistula closure. Follow-up consisted of out-patient visits in a fortnight, 1, 2, and 12 months. RESULTS Complete closure of anal fistulas was achieved in 16 (75%) patients from group I and 10 (45,5%) patients from group II. The fistulas were healed in 9 patients from group I after single application of PRP. In the next 9 patients with incomplete fistula closure, the injection was repeated 2 to 4 times every fortnight leading finally to complete recovery in 6 of them. CONCLUSIONS Surgical fistula closure with local PRP application spares the anal sphincter and gives the opportunity to repeat the procedure several times if necessary. Treatment of recurrent anal fistulas with PRP can be considered as last resort therapy.

Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection and Platelet-Rich Fibrin Glue Insertion for the Treatment of Extensive Supralevator Anorectal Fistula: A Case Report. World J Plast Surg 2023; 12:58-62. [PMID: 37220581 PMCID: PMC10200087 DOI: 10.52547/wjps.12.1.58] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Supralevator fistula stays a challenge in general surgery. We present a case with supralevator anorectal fistula and subsequent retroperitoneal necrotizing fasciitis in which autologous platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin glue were used for fistula closure. A 59-year-old man was admitted with pelvic pain and fever. Abdominopelvic sonography and CT scan reported a deep horseshoe-shaped anorectal abscess with extension to the pelvic floor, supralevator, psoas, retroperitoneal muscles, and kidneys. He was managed with antibiotics, abscess drainage, repeated radical surgical debridement, and necrosectomy. After 30 days, he was discharged, but he returned to the office with the complaint of purulent discharge from the hypogastric region and a diagnosis of fistula formation. Platelet-rich plasma was injected around the fistula into the tissue, and platelet-rich fibrin glue was introduced to the fistula tract. At the 11-month follow-up, the patient did not have voiding dysfunction, constipation, diarrhea, or fistula tract infection. Autologous platelet-rich plasma injection and platelet-rich fibrin glue insertion suggest a secure and effective approach for treating supralevator anorectal fistula.

Abstract
Background: According to current literature, anastomosis leakage holds a leading position among all complications of colorectal surgery. A particular area of prevention of this complication in colorectal oncology is the research of the possibilities of using biological adhesive compounds as a universal biological and mechanical barrier to the spread of intraluminal microflora and tumor cells.Clinical case: A 65-year-old patient (female) was hospitalized with a diagnosis of rectal cancer cT3cN1cM0 (stage III) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Surgical treatment was performed: the laparoscopic low anterior resection of the rectum with expanded lymphodissection, protective loop ileostomy. The anastomosis was formed at a height of 4 cm from the anus. Intraoperatively, the anastomosis line was strengthened using the Vivostat R system product. The technology of on-site preparation and application of the compound is described in the paper.. The postoperative period passed without complications.Conclusion: Due to the possible economic, oncological and postoperative advantages, the use of modern fibrin adhesive compositions is quite promising for introduction into surgical practice. It is required to conduct research aimed at studying the effectiveness of this method of preventing the leakage of colorectal anastomoses.

Treatments for the amelioration of persistent factors in complex anal fistula. Biotechnol Lett 2021; 44:23-31.

Abstract
Anal fistulae are abnormal hollow connections between the wall of the anal canal and the perianal skin around the anus that have remained a burden on the medical sector for centuries. The complexity of this disease is attributed to a number of factors such as the degree of associated sphincter muscle, concomitant illnesses, existence of multiple fistulous tracts and the number of previous interventions. Persistence of a complex anal fistula can cause a decline in patient's physical quality of life as well as impact on the psychological status of patients who often suffer from anxiety and depression. Surgical intervention remains the gold standard for treatment, however; the risk of incontinence and high recurrence potential has led to interest into developing alternative treatment approaches such as the use of biologics, bioactives and biomaterials. One potential reason for these varied outcomes could be the multifactorial interplay between genetic, immune-related, environmental, and microbial persistence factors on tissue regeneration. Recent observations have proposed that adverse inflammatory mediators may contribute more than microbial factors. The moderate to high success rates of biotechnological advances (mesenchymal stem cells and biomaterial scaffolds) show promise as therapies for the amelioration of adverse persistent factors while facilitating a means to closing the fistula tract. The purpose of this review is to outline recent advances in biologics and combination therapies to treat persistent factors associated with complex anal fistula.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a need for other than surgical methods of therapy for small and low rectovaginal fistulas (RVF) in the course of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as application of fibrin sealants, stem cells, biological therapy, or platelet-rich plasma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of the treatment after local application of PRP in aforementioned fistulas, exclusively in the patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Medical records of 13 patients with small and low-lying, active RVF in the course of UC, and after restorative proctocolectomy for UC were evaluated. Curettage of fistulous tracts was performed with the following application of PRP in all patients. RESULTS Complete closure of RVF was achieved after the first injection in 4 patients, 3 women healed their fistulas following the second application, and two of them closed RVF after 3 injections. To sum up, the complete closure of RVF was achieved in 9 (69%) patients. Fistulas remained closed from 6 to 12 months. CONCLUSIONS The application of PRP in small, low, and recurrent IBD anal fistulas is effective, simple, and safe with an acceptable rate of healing. This therapy might also precede any further, surgical methods of treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the clinical outcome of autologous platelet-rich growth factor (PRP) with commercial fibrin glue in the management of high cryptogenic fistulae-in-ano. METHOD The study was conducted at a single center between July 2012 and July 2015 and performed as a phase III, randomized, double-blind comparison of autologously prepared PRP versus fibrin glue for cryptoglandular anal fistulae without active sepsis. Patients were assessed with clinical and endosonographic follow-up. Patients were followed up at 1 week and then at 3, 6, and 12 postoperative months. The primary outcome measure was the fistula healing rate (complete, partial, and non-healing) with secondary outcome measures assessing fistula recurrence, continence status, quality of life, and visual analog pain scores. RESULTS Of the 56 enrolled patients, 32 were PRP-treated and 24 were fibrin-treated. The groups were well matched for fistula type with an improved overall healing rate for PRP-treated over fibrin-treated cases (71% vs. 58.3%, respectively; P = 0.608); a complete healing rate of 48.4% vs. 41.7%, respectively; and a partial healing rate of 22.6% vs. 16.7%, respectively. The median pain scores of PRP-treated patients were lower at the first visit with a greater initial pain decrease early during follow-up. Improvements in pain reduction impacted the quality of life measures (P = 0.035). All adverse events were minor and no patient experienced a negative impact on continence. CONCLUSION Treatment of complex cryptoglandular anal fistula with autologous PRP is as effective as fibrin glue with less cost and no adverse effect on continence.
