Influence of seton configuration, thickness, and laxity on patient comfort in chronic perianal fistula: a prospective comparative study
Seton configuration and laxity significantly affect patient comfort. O-shaped setons and shorter laxity (≤ 2 cm) are preferable for reducing discomfort. These findings support evidence-based seton selection, although larger multicenter studies are needed to confirm these results.
