Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Rate of healing

    complete healing was defined as complete epithelialization of the wound, with no evidence of external fistula opening or perianal discharge under physical examination.

    6 months post-operation.

  • Recurrence rate

    recurrence was defined as the clinical reappearance of the fistula after complete healing, removal or fall-off of seton

    within 12 months after the procedure

  • The healing time of the anal wound (days)

    the time needed to achieve complete healing of anal fistula.

    6 months post-operation.

Study Arms (2)

decomprssion and drainage seton

EXPERIMENTAL
Procedure: Decomprssion and drainage seton

Cutting seton

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Procedure: Cutting seton

Interventions

Incision the internal sphincter over the fistula tract in intersphinteric space to achieve decompression then drainage seton will be put around external sphincter.

decomprssion and drainage seton
Cutting setonPROCEDURE

Cutting seton is introduced from outside openning to internal openning and encircling the internal and external anal sphincter.
