Response to “Comment on the systematic review of TROPIS for anal fistula”

We appreciate the interest and constructive comments from Dr. Yagnik and colleagues regarding our recent systematic review and meta-analysis on the Transanal Opening of Intersphincteric Space (TROPIS) procedure for anal fistula [1]. Their thoughtful observations allow us to clarify several key points and acknowledge certain limitations in our work.

Abstract

We appreciate the interest and constructive comments from Dr. Yagnik and colleagues regarding our recent systematic review and meta-analysis on the Transanal Opening of Intersphincteric Space (TROPIS) procedure for anal fistula [1]. Their thoughtful observations allow us to clarify several key points and acknowledge certain limitations in our work.
