INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFICACY OF FISTULA OBLITERATION BY STEAM ABLATION IN PERİANAL FISTULAS
A study testing steam ablation in people with Anal Fistula, run by Fatih Sultan Mehmet Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
Trial summary
Perianal fistula(PF) is one of the most frequent disease in anorectal disease.The incidence of PF is 8,6 -10 / 100 000 . The first surgical treatment is defined by Hippocrates in PF .This surgical treatment which found by Hippocrates , involves seton insertion into the tract of fistula . Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: OBLITERATION OF THE PERIANAL FISTULA TRACT BY STEAM ABLATION DEVICE IN THE TREATMENT OF PERIANAL FISTULA CAN BE USED AS A TREATMENT OPTION , A RAT STUDY
Perianal fistula(PF) is one of the most frequent disease in anorectal disease.The incidence of PF is 8,6 -10 / 100 000 . The first surgical treatment is defined by Hippocrates in PF .This surgical treatment which found by Hippocrates , involves seton insertion into the tract of fistula . Today most of surgeon still use the same technic but PF is really hard disease to treat. Recurrence rate of PF is really high and there are lots of complication about this disease. The most scary complication during the surgery or postoperatively is anal disfunction. ın PF surgical technics involves ;fistulectomy (coring out), lay open (fistulotomy), Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract, advancement flap and laser ablation of the fistula tract . The popularity of laser ablation of the fistula tract is increasing day by day.This surgical procedure is applied with the laser device which use in varicose vain ablation in vascular surgery.In this study the investigator are trying to find out the effect of steam ablation in PF on rats.

The popularity of laser ablation of the fistula tract is increasing day by day.This surgical procedure is applied with the laser device which use in varicose vain ablation in vascular surgery.In this study the investigator are trying to find out the effect of steam ablation in PF on rats.This new procedure has to be tried on rat firstly and the studies is very important which tried on rats.
Our research includes 32 rats and Firstly the investigator created perianal fistula tract with 2.0 silk suture material on 3 o'clock in perianal region.1 month will wait for the maturation of fistula tract. After that the suture materials removed from the fistula tract and one fistula tract will treat with steam ablation device (3 o'clock )in 16 rats and the other 16 rats will be the control group .1 month will be wait for the examination of treatment of fistula tract in steam ablation group.Evaluation of fistula tract will define with microscopic examination after the excision.End of the study the investigator will be find out the effect of steam ablation on perianal fistula .

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
steam ablationProcedure or surgery
Also called perianal fistül treatment with steam ablation device
32 rats have 1 fistula tract .For 16 rats the investigator will use steam ablation to obliterate and 16 rats will be control group
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| steam ablation | Active comparator | The fistula tract which treated with steam ablation Receives: Procedure: steam ablation |
| control group | Active comparator | The fistula tract which do not take any treatment Receives: Procedure: steam ablation |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Effect of steam ablation treatment in perianal fistula in rats.
In the present study, we evaluated the effectiveness of steam ablation , associated or not to seton in the treatment of anal fistula surgically produced in rats. Although still very limited number of publications, the use of steam ablation in the treatment of anal fistula has shown promise, which was also observed in this study. There was a statistically significant difference when comparing the group treated with steam ablation and the control group. The previous seton placement not shown in this research any advantage, perhaps by allowing in some.
Measured: 7 weeks
