Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Healing time

    Time required to achieve complete healing of the anal fistula

    6 months after surgery

Study Arms (2)

Draining seton

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Draining seton is placed through the fistula track and internal and external anal sphicnters

Procedure: Draining seton

Rerouting of track

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The seton and the fistula track are rerouted to include the internal anal sphincter only and spare the external anal sphincter

Procedure: Rerouting of track

Interventions

Number 1 silk suture was passed through the fistula track and tied as loose seton

Draining seton

The seton and fistula track were rerouted to involve the internal anal sphicnter only and spare the external sphincter

Rerouting of track

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 65 Years
Sexall(Gender-based eligibility)
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with simple anal fistula.
  • Patients with acute anorectal sepsis.
  • Patients with secondary anal fistula caused by inflammatory bowel diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, malignancy, or irradiation.
