Combined Fistulotomy and Contralateral Anal Internal Sphincterotomy for Recurrent and Complex Anal Fistula to Prevent Recurrence.

This study reported a combination of fistulotomy and contralateral internal sphincterotomy procedures on recurrent and complex perianal fistula to prevent recurrence. Here we report 5 cases of recurrent and complex perianal fistula. The combination of fistulotomy and contralateral internal sphincterotomy is a relatively easy and safe procedure for complex perianal fistulae. In our cases, we found neither recurrence nor postoperative anal incontinence. PMID: 32178490 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
