A novel sphincter-sparing procedure for seton removal in complex perianal fistulas: the FiLaFlap technique

The FiLaFlap technique appears to be a safe and potentially effective sphincter-preserving strategy for complex perianal fistulas, demonstrating high remission rates with minimal morbidity. Further studies with larger cohorts and extended follow-up are needed to validate these preliminary findings.

Abstract

The FiLaFlap technique appears to be a safe and potentially effective sphincter-preserving strategy for complex perianal fistulas, demonstrating high remission rates with minimal morbidity. Further studies with larger cohorts and extended follow-up are needed to validate these preliminary findings.
