Active clinical trials for "Rectal Fistula"

This clinical trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Strattice-LIFT procedure to treat anal fistulas.

The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anal fistula plug in the management of high-type anal fistulae among Hong Kong Chinese patients.

Surgical treatment of perianal fistulas frequently affects fecal continence. Sphincter saving techniques like loose or cutting seton and fistulectomy with advancement of an endorectal flap have been advocated to minimize the risk of sphincter injury, but patients often complain of a prolonged healing period and major discomfort. Furthermore, the healing rate varies widely according to the type of fistula and the surgeon's experience.In the early '90s the treatment of perianal fistulas by autologous or commercial fibrin glue was suggested and the American FDA approved the use and marketing of a human fibrin glue in 1998. Since then, several studies have evaluated the effectiveness of human fibrin glue in the treatment of different types of perianal fistulas, reporting a wide range of success rates ranging from 31 to 85%. Primary aim of this study is to conduct a prospective randomized trial evaluating the effectiveness of glue treatment of perianal fistulas as compared with the classical seton treatment. Secondary aims are to compare postoperative faecal incontinence, postoperative anal pain, healing time and length of hospitalization.

Double-blinded multicenter randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CLIFE2 (lidocaine, referred as treatment A) respect CLIFE1 (lidocaine plus diclofenac, referred as treatment B) in benign anorectal surgery.

Interventional study that evaluate analgesia and side effects of Ultrasound guided Caudal block preoperatively in benign canal anal surgery

Perianal fistula(PF) is one of the most frequent disease in anorectal disease.The incidence of PF is 8,6 -10 / 100 000 . The first surgical treatment is defined by Hippocrates in PF .This surgical treatment which found by Hippocrates , involves seton insertion into the tract of fistula . Today most of surgeon still use the same technic but PF is really hard disease to treat. Recurrence rate of PF is really high and there are lots of complication about this disease. The most scary complication during the surgery or postoperatively is anal disfunction. ın PF surgical technics involves ;fistulectomy (coring out), lay open (fistulotomy), Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract, advancement flap and laser ablation of the fistula tract . The popularity of laser ablation of the fistula tract is increasing day by day.This surgical procedure is applied with the laser device which use in varicose vain ablation in vascular surgery.In this study the investigator are trying to find out the effect of steam ablation in PF on rats.

Efficacy of treatment of perianal fistula with mesenchymal stem cells and surgery

In the treatment of complex anal fistulas transplant of freshly collected autologous adipose tissue mechanically fragmented or centrifuged adipose tissue (CAT) might be an alternative to in vitro expanded autologous or allogeneic adipose-derived stem cells, showing remarkable efficacy in diverse therapeutic indications. The aim of our study is to evaluate randomly the efficacy and safety of the use of CAT in the healing process of complex anal fistulas, except for Crohn's disease (CD) related fistulas.

In this study, we retrospectively reviewed clinical data of patients who were treated with an anal fistula plug for trans-sphincteric anal fistulas, and evaluated the long-term therapeutic effect of an anal fistula plug and the risk factors impacting anal fistula healing. In addition, we assessed the effects of post-operative changes on anal function, as well as the risk factors affecting anal function.

A pilot study to investigate the safety and feasibility of stem cells treatment of complex anal fistula in patients with Crohn's disease.
