Semiflex-assisted vacuum therapy for perianal fistulas: the Semiflex pilot study
Semiflex therapy was feasible in a subset of patients and allowed outpatient treatment. However, maintaining vacuum and achieving long-term fistula closure remains challenging. While Semiflex may have a role in perianal fistula management, further research is needed to refine patient selection and optimize its application.
