Rerouting of the tract in the treatment of high anal fistula: a single-center experience

The rerouting procedure is a feasible and safe surgical option for managing high transsphincteric perianal fistulae. It is associated with low postoperative complication rates, including short-term recurrence. It combines the advantages of fistulotomy and sphincter-preserving fistula surgery. However, further studies involving a large number of suprasphincteric fistula cases are needed to evaluate the efficacy of the rerouting technique in treating such fistulae.
