Summary

This study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes of coring out fistulectomy with the closure of internal sphincter opening versus lay open fistulotomy (modified LIFT) and lay open fistulotomy and primary sphincter repair in trans-sphincteric perianal fistula

Conditions

  • Coring Out
  • Fistulectomy
  • Internal Sphincter
  • Lay Open Fistulotomy
  • Sphincter Repair
  • Transsphincteric Perianal Fistula

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Coring out Fistulectomy with Closure of Internal Sphincter Opening

The patient was laid in the lithotomy position. Skin preparation and draping were done. Normal saline irrigation was performed. The anal canal was sufficiently dilated to permit the introduction of a self-retaining retractor. With H2O2 injection into the fistula tract, the internal opening and tract of the fistula will be identified. The incision was made around the external opening, and the tract was all cored out along the tract from the external opening to the internal sphincter. Meticulous hemostasis will be performed, stay suture by PDS 4/0 around fistiolous opening at the internal sphincter, excision of fistulous tract above stay suture, then closure of internal sphincter defect by PDS 3/0. Anal packing with 4 × 4 epinephrine gauze and sterile protective dressing was performed. After the operation, a stool softener and pain controller were prescribed, and patients were discharged.

PROCEDURE

Lay Open Fistulotomy and Primary Sphincter Repair

Patients were put in a lithotomy position and the skin was then draped. After identification of the external fistula orifice probing of the fistula tract with identification of the fistulous tract and internal orifice with H2O2 injection into the fistula tract. The fistula was laid open and fistulectomy was then conducted and dissected with diathermy cautery help. Then Primary repair of the sphincter with PDS 3/0 with proper hemostasis using coagulation diathermy.
