Cable Tie Seton in Surgical Treatment of High Perianal Fistula
Journal Title: The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 73, Issue 3
Abstract
<strong><em>Background: </em></strong>Seton is any string-like material which when tied through the fistula tract causes an inflammatory reaction which stimulates fibrosis that fixes and prevents retraction of the sphincter continuity when it is divided. In this way, it maintains sphincter continuity during cutting process. <strong>Aim of work: was to evaluate the</strong> cable tie seton technique in surgical treatment of high perianal fistula, regarding the rate of fecal incontinences and recurrence<strong><em>. Patients and Methods</em></strong>: This prospective study included a total of 20 cases having single tract, high perianal fistula, primary or recurrent and who were managed by cable tie seton from October 2016 till September 2017. Patients were enrolled from General Surgery Department, Al-Hussein Hospital. Patients were instructed to follow up weekly for 10 weeks with continuous tightening of the seton.<strong><em> Results</em></strong>: All the patients were followed up for the state of incontinence for flatus, liquid and solid stool and follow up for recurrence, slippage of cable: Incontinence: There is 3 cases noticed in early 2 weeks incontinent for flatus. Incontinence for liquid stool noticed in 2 cases in early 1 week. Incontinence for solid stool not noticed in our study. In all cases, the cable tie seton was kept in its position and didn’t dislodged or slipped. <strong><em>Conclusion</em></strong>: It could be concluded that cable tie seton is safe, low cost, ubiquitous, pragmatic, precise, and accost effective option for the treatment of high perianal fistula. We there for recommended it for treating fistula in ano requiring the placement of aseton. It does not carry the disadvantages of repeated anesthesia and visits to the operating theater and reduce the morbidity, inconvenience, and cost to the patient.
