1 Fistules périanales, éi traitement t le plus efficace en 2012? F. Ris, B. Roche Interdisziplinäre Viszerale und Medizin am Inselspital 2012, UPDATE Proktologie Inselspital Bern 18 th October 2012

2 1686 Incision of louis XIV Félix & Bessières

3 ETIOLOGY 9 90% primary crypto g glandular Inselspital 18th October 2012

4 10% secondary Hydroadenitis, cebaceus adenitis Fissure Pilonidal Cyst Infectious disease: tbc, STD Carcinoma: anal, rectum, leukemia Post radiotherapy Debilitating illnesses (leukemia, diabetes, AIDS) Crohn s disease, HRC Iatrogenic: injections, hemorroidectomy, sclerotherapy, prostatectomy Trauma: foreign body, penetrating wounds, obstetrical tears

5 Perianal abscess Pi Primum movens of the fistula?

6 Different Abcess localisation

7 Therapeutic options Simple drainage Local anaesthesia Drainage curettage and seton General anaesthesia Drainage + fistula track treatment

8 Initial managment Litterature: t Randomised trial incision (I) versus fistulotomy (F) Y Patients Recurrence% Incontinence% I F Hebjorn et al I = F I < F Oliver et al I (29) > F (5) I (2.8) < F (36.7) Schouten et al I (40.6) > F (2.9) I (21.4) < F (39.4) Seow-Choen I (12 ) > F (0) I = Incision F= Fistulectomy

9 Simple drainage or drainage & fistula track treatment in anorectal oec abscess?

10 Simple drainage or drainage & fistula track treatment in anorectal oec abscess?

11 Natural history of the fistula 20% will close the fistula tract Putting a Seton initialy will prevent this natural healing process

12 Initial Surgical managment Seton drainage, for up to 3-6 months After healing of the abcess cavity, in case of residual fistula Prevent reccurence of the abcess

13 Initial Surgical managment Prolène 4-0 is good, 2 stiches

14 Initial Surgical managment

15 Fistula : Goals for the surgeon Define the exact anatomy of the fistulous tract Drain any associated sepsis Eradicate all the fistulous tractt Prevent recurrence Maintain sphincter function and continence Minimize healing time

16 Fistula : Goals for the surgeon surgeon Inselspital 18th October 2012

17 Current surgical managment Fistulectomy (low, distal fistula) Fistulectomy and mucosal flap Occlusion technique Plug (porcine collagen) Glue

18 Alternative surgical managment Cutting setton (40-60% risk of incontinence) Van Tests. BLS 1995;82:895-7 Hämäläinen KP. Dis Col Rect 1997;40: Garcia-Aguilar J. BJS 1998;85:243-5 Transsphincteric fistulectomy and sphincter reconstruction (>30% incontinence) Both avoided because of fecal incontinence

19 Fistulectomy: Fistulectomy

20 Fistulectomy Anodermic reconstruction Complete excision of primary orifice

21 Fistulectomy: results 464 fistulectomies 24 recurrences e ces (5.2%) No incontinence

22 Sphincter preserving complex fistula treatment

23 Sphincter preserving fistula treatment Difficult and high rate of complications such as anal incontinence treatment options: Mucosal flap New sphincter preserving treatments : Plugs, LIFT, VAAFT OVESCO, etc

24 Fistulectomy Mucosal flap

25 Preoperative care Mucosal flap technique: Antibiotic prophylaxis No Enema No Epilation No Stoma

26 Contraindications ti to flaps: Acute inflammation Extensive suture line tension Anastomosis in diseased tissue radiation fistula neoplastic fistula active Crohn s disease

27

28 Postoperative care: Shower 3-6 times daily NSAID drugs Cream in the external wound Bulk forming agent or oil 1 x daily Close FU (Weekly inspection)

29 Advantages of the flap procedure: No sphincter division No keyhole deformity Less pain and rapid healing May repeat in case of recurrences

30 Geneva Results: 136 consecutive cases 82 men 54 women Age y M = 44.6 y

31 Inpatient /outpatient ratio Inpatient 97 (71.3%) Outpatient ti t 39 (28.7%)

32 Success rate Primary success (1 month) 97 (71.3%) Secondary success (delayed or minor op) 17 (12.5%) Recurrences at 1 year follow up 22 (16.2%) out of 136 flaps 83.8% 8% of success

33 Hospital stay Postoperative stay 4.1 d Wound healing delay 32.8 d (12-63) 1 suture leak No septic complications

34 continence No liquid nor solid stool incontinence 1 faecal soiling 3 gas incontinence 1 sphincter rigidity (11 operations)

35 The mucosal flap in the treatment of complex anal fistulae allows: Elimination of inflammatory tissue Sphincter preservation Locoregional anesthesia Outpatients

36 Plugs? New Surgical managment Lift procedure? VAAFT? OVESCO clip Stem cells

37 Plug technique: Identification of the fistula tract with seton Tract is washed and brushed Plug is pulled out from the primary orifice

38 Plug technique: t h i Endo anal fixation

39 From April 2007 to February patients: 12 male 4 female Complex crypto glandular fistula Seton drainage 3 months before the operation Results!!!!

Goligher (Leeds 1967) 97) Excision of internal sphincter at fistula site for drainage and access to fistulotomy Healing 25/25 Incontinence: flatus 8, liquid 4,solids 7 Matos (ST Mark s, 1993) Intersphincteric approach for fistulectomy and closure of the internal sphincter from within Healing 7/13 Incontinence :flatus 3, liquid 1,solids 0

57 LIFT procedure The LIFT procedure is simple, safe and effective The LIFT procedure has no reported adverse effects on continence Failures at LIFT can be transformed to secondary closures (transphincteric fistula into low inter sphincteric fistulae amendable to fistulotomy)
