Simplified dressing change after surgery for high anal fistula: A prospective, single centre randomized controlled study on loose combined cutting seton (LCCS) technique. Int Wound J 2024; 21:e14401. [PMID: 37709499 PMCID: PMC10788579 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dressing change is the most important part of postoperative wound care. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a more effective, simple and less painful method of dressing change for anal fistulas could be found without the need for debridement and packing. Data related to postoperative recovery were recorded at postoperative days 3, 7, 14, 21 and 180. METHODS In this experiment, 76 subjects diagnosed with high anal fistula were randomly divided into a simplified dressing change (SDC) group and a traditional debridement dressing change(TDDC) group according to a ratio of 1:1. RESULTS The SDC group had significantly fewer pain scores, bleeding rates, dressing change times, inpatient days and lower average inpatient costs than the TDDC group. There were no significant differences in wound healing time, area and depth and Wexner score between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Studies have shown that the use of simplified dressing changes does not affect cure or recurrence rates, but significantly reduces dressing change times and pain during changes, reducing patient inpatient length of stay and costs.

Abstract
Objectives Fistula-in-ano is a common condition that negatively affects the quality of life of its sufferers. A high anal fistula poses a significant challenge for surgeons due to its proximity to the anorectal ring and the potential risk of incontinence rather than recurrence. Many modalities have been used in a justified search for a satisfactory cure for the condition, but the seton remains a mainstay of surgical treatment. Therefore, the rationale of this study is to assess the outcome of treating a high anal fistula using the cutting seton technique in a hospital in Al Madinah, Saudi Arabia. The evaluation is intended through a retrospective analysis of patients' outcomes, comparing its effectiveness to similar articles. Methods This is a retrospective study that includes 50 patients with high anal fistulas who were treated with a cutting seton at the National Guard Hospital over a four-year period (2019-2022). Information obtained from medical records included clinical and demographic data. The data collected during the study was compiled and statistically analyzed using the SPSS Statistics version 26.0 (IBM Corp. Released 2019. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.). A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results A total of 50 patients with high anal fistula treated with a cutting seton were included: 82% were males and 18% were females, with 66% below 45 years of age. Approximately 92% had inter-sphincteric fistulas, and only 28% had a recurrent fistula. Almost all patients (98%) had an MRI done before surgery. Around 70% of patients were completely cured, 26% had minor complications, 8% of the operated patients experienced mild incontinence, and only one recurrence (2%). Conclusion The cutting seton is still a valid modality in treating patients with a high anal fistula, as it is considerably safe, effective, and yields good outcomes. Standard preoperative assessment and thorough surgical techniques are cornerstones for achieving a satisfactory outcome.

Advanced Regenerative Medicine Strategies for Treatment of Perianal Fistula in Crohn's Disease. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2022; 28:133-142.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine is an emerging therapeutic method that aims to reconstruct tissues and organs. This advanced therapeutic approach has demonstrated great potential in addressing the limitations of medical and surgical procedures for treating perineal fistula in patients with Crohn's disease. Recent developments in stem cell technology have led to a massive good manufacturing practices (GMPs) production of various stem cells, including mesenchymal and embryonic cells, along with induction of pluripotent stem cells to repair damaged tissues in the fistula. The recent advances in separation and purification of exosomes, as biologic nanovesicles carrying anti-inflammatory and regenerative agents, have made them powerful tools to treat this inflammatory disease. Further, tremendous advances in nanotechnology, biomaterials, and scaffold fabrication methods enable tissue engineering methods to synthesize tissue-like structures to assist surgical techniques. This review focuses on advanced regenerative-based methods including stem cell therapy, exosome therapy, and tissue engineering used in the treatment of perianal fistula. Relevant in vitro and in vivo studies and the latest innovations in implementation of regenerative medicine for this disease are also separately reviewed. Additionally, current challenges regarding implementation of g stem cells, exosomes, and tissue engineering methods for bridging the gaps between laboratory findings and clinic application will be discussed.

Zhi C, Huang Z, Liu D, Zheng L. Long-term follow-up study of loose combined cutting seton surgery for patients with high anal fistula. ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2021; 9:1160. [PMID: 34430601 PMCID: PMC8350621 DOI: 10.21037/atm-21-3242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Background The treatment of high anal fistula (HAF) is still difficult for clinical surgeons. Our previous study demonstrated the short-term benefit of loose combined cutting seton (LCCS) for patients with HAF. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of LCCS for treating HAF patients. Methods We retrospectively enrolled consecutive HAF patients who received LCCS therapy in our hospital between March 2014 and July 2017. After enrollment, all patients were followed up by clinical review. The patients’ clinical information and most recent follow-up results were collected. Pain was assessed by the visual analog scale (VAS), and the severity of fecal incontinence was assessed by the Wexner Continence Grading Scale. We also assessed the patients’ quality of life (QOL) using a the MOS item short from health survey (SF-36) questionnaire. HAF healing was considered the primary outcome, while the fistula recurrence rate, severity of fecal incontinence, and QOL were the secondary outcomes. Results In total, 22 patients (18 male, four female) were enrolled in the final analysis. The mean duration of follow-up was 3.65 years (interquartile range: 3.55–4.22; range, 3.50–5.43). All patients were cured and there was no recurrence during the follow-up period. Eight patients reported a Wexner score of 1, while the remaining patients reported a score of 0 at the final follow-up. Furthermore, one patient had a VAS score of 1, while the remaining patients had a VAS score of 0, which indicated almost no postoperative pain. The QOL of all patients improved significantly. Conclusions LCCS is an effective method to treat HAF patients. Large, multicenter randomized controlled trials are warranted.
