Rectovestibular Fistula Which Surgical Approaches?

Vestibular Fistulae

This study was a prospective, randomized, comparative study that included female children with rectovestibular fistulae who were selected from patients with anorectal malformations treated at the pediatric surgical unit, Assiut University Hospital during the period from January 2016 to February 2020. The patients were randomly divided into four groups according to the procedure performed: trans- sphincter anorectoplasty(TSARP), posterior sagittal anorectoplasty, classic anterior sagittal anorectoplasty (ASARP), and modified ASARP.

Nasoalveolar Fistula (Defect)

During primary cleft lip repair in patients who were born with cleft lip and palate, usage of cleft margin flap with anterior palatal closure will be done in an attempt to close the Naso-alveolar fistula (defect) that usually occur and remain in those patients post-operatively.

Retrospective Review of the Cook Biodesign® Fistula Plug to Treat Anorectal Fistulas

Anorectal Fistula

The study is a retrospective review of the use of the Biodesign® Fistula Plug (C-FPS-[X]). A total of 73 patients will be enrolled who have had a fistula plug placed to treat anorectal fistulas and will therefore be eligible for statistical analysis.

Fistula Laser Closure

Fistula;Rectal

The anal complex fistula constitutes a challenge in proctologic surgery because of the of its therapeutic care complexity due to the frequency of recurrences and the necessity to protect the sphincter function. For several years,differents techniques were developed "said sphincter sparing techniques" to handle fistulas at risk on the anal continence. Recently there is one of them , named FiLAC using a clip system not yet evaluated. The purpose is to assess the success rate of his new surgery technique.

Fistula-associated Anal Adenocarcinoma

Rectal Cancer

The fistula-associated anal adenocarcinoma is rare in patients suffering from anal fistulas. There is only little data available for this patient collective making characterization and management of this disease difficult. Late diagnosis and advanced tumor stage at diagnosis result in poor clinical outcome. It is the purpose of this study to evaluate patients clinically diagnosed with a FAAC and to further perform a histopathological characterization of the available tumor specimen.

Ligation of Inter-sphincteric Fistula Tract for Management of Anal Fistula

Anal Fistula

After abscess formation, an anal fistula is a common consequence, with crypto-glandular infection being the most commonly accepted causative cause. The goal of this study was to see how well closure of the inter-sphincteric fistula tract affects the outcome of trans-sphincteric fistula surgery. Patients with perianal trans-sphincteric fistulas who underwent ligation were studied prospectively. All patients had the identical anesthetic approach, followed by the operation with two years' follow-up.

Buttressed Pancreatico-Gastrostomy for Soft Pancreas With Small Diameter Pancreatic Duct in Whipple...

Pancreatic Fistula

Post-operative pancreatic fistula after Pancreaticoduodenectomy procedure, is still a major complication that might be affected by pancreatic stump reconstruction technique. More than 60 techniques were published in literature. Soft pancreas and small pancreatic duct size were major risk factors for post-operative pancreatic fistula. Supporting Duct to Mucosa Pancreatico-Gastrostomy with trans-pancreatic transverse mattress U- Shaped sutures is a new and safe technique for decreasing the risk of post-operative pancreatic fistula in high-risk patients.

LASER FiLaC™ (FISTULA LASER CLOSURE) : First-line Treatment of Complex Anal Fistulas

Complex Anal Fistula

Complex anal fistula is a fistula whose treatment with fistulotomy would expose the patient to an excessive risk of post-operative continence disorders. It is a challenge in proctological surgery because of the complexity of its therapeutic management in relation to the recurrences' frequency and the need to preserve sphincter function. Indeed, management is mainly based on fistulotomy techniques, but the latter expose patients to a significant alteration of their continence (less than 10% incontinence for simple fistulas but 30-50% for complex fistulas). In addition, these fistulas' management is constraining for patients due to the need for multiple interventions, long-term post-operative care and repeated discontinuation of activity. Sphincteral saving techniques have therefore developed over the last three decades and have enriched the therapeutic panel of complex fistulas. They aim to block fistula pathways without risking altering sphincter function. In addition, their surgical consequences are often simple. However, they are associated with a greater risk of failure than after fistulotomy and sometimes disappointing to the point that some of these techniques have been gradually abandoned (biological glue and plug for example). Among these sphincteral saving techniques, the investigators know the advancement flap, the injection of biological glue, plug's installation, the LIFT (Ligation of Inter sphincteric Fistula Tract), the clip's use but also, more recently a laser treatment, FiLaC™ (for Fistula Laser Closure), knowing that the idea was not new since the ND-YAG3 and CO24.5 lasers were already used in the treatment of anal fistulas, about twenty years ago, in experimental studies. This technique consists of radiating 360° laser energy radially into the fistula path to "burn" it and causing thermal destruction by coagulation of the fistula wall ans granulation tissue2. It can bo offered to any type of fistula at risk on continence, including horseshoe extensions that can be treated at the same time. It is well suited for outpatient management because the postoperative period is simple and painless. The literature is still poor on the subject with some studies published openly but the preliminary results are encouraging with a success rate of about 70%. No continence disorders reported.
