Suture traction—assisted bearclaw fistula closure: a case series describing a novel endoscopic technique for fistula closure
We presented 3 successful applications of this novel technique, each with a 9- to 13-month follow-up showing no recurrence or adverse events. This technique offers a promising solution for challenging fistulas that resist closure with standard procedures.
