Abstract

Background: The treatment of anal fistula has been a conundrum for surgeons over the years. Various methods such as fistulotomy, fistulectomy, seton, ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract (LIFT), advancement flaps, fibrin glue, and plugs are well-known techniques. Yet, they may be followed by several considerable complications, including incontinency and recurrence.

Methods: In this study, the outcomes of the "Jump" and "Seton" techniques are compared. A randomized controlled trial consisting of 130 cases with cryptoglandular anal fistula randomly sorted into two groups was conducted. Group A underwent the "Jump technique" while group B underwent the "Seton technique." Outcomes, incontinency and recurrences in particular, were evaluated after a year of treatment. Data were analyzed by Fisher Exact, Chi-Square and Mann Whitney Tests.

Results: Group A with 65 cases underwent the "Jump technique" while group B with 65 cases underwent the "Seton Method." Recurrence was reported in 12 (20%) cases in group A and 10 (15.6%) cases in group B (p=0.687). Overall incontinence was reported in 3 (4.6%) cases in group A and 18 (27.7%) cases in group B (P=0.001). The total St. Mark's scores for incontinency of group A (0.092±0.52) and group B (1.8±02.47) significantly differed (p<0.001).

Conclusions: The "Jump technique", named after a runner who jumped over hurdles, has obviated these complications. The "Jump technique" had satisfactory results and can be utilized as a first-line approach for all types of fistulas. Moreover, it can be redone for cases with recurrences without affecting the continence, paving the way to change the technique during operations.

跳跃技术与Seton法修复肛瘘:一项随机对照试验。
背景:肛瘘的治疗多年来一直是困扰外科医生的难题。各种方法,如瘘管切开术、瘘管切除术、塞顿、括约肌间瘘管束结扎(LIFT)、推进皮瓣、纤维蛋白胶和塞是众所周知的技术。然而,他们可能会出现一些相当大的并发症,包括尿失禁和复发。方法:在本研究中,比较“跳跃”技术和“西顿”技术的效果。将130例隐腺肛瘘患者随机分为两组,进行随机对照试验。A组采用“Jump技术”,B组采用“Seton技术”。结果,特别是尿失禁和复发,在治疗一年后进行评估。采用Fisher Exact、卡方检验和Mann Whitney检验对数据进行分析。结果:A组65例采用“跳跃法”,B组65例采用“Seton法”。A组复发12例(20%),B组复发10例(15.6%)(p=0.687)。A组有3例(4.6%)尿失禁,B组有18例(27.7%)尿失禁(P=0.001)。A组尿失禁St. Mark’s总分为0.092±0.52分,B组为1.8±02.47分,差异有统计学意义(p0.001)。结论:以一位跨栏运动员的名字命名的“跳跃技术”消除了这些并发症。“跳跃技术”有令人满意的结果,可以作为一线入路用于所有类型的瘘。此外,对于复发的病例,可以在不影响尿失禁的情况下重新进行,为手术中改变技术铺平了道路。
