AIM: To investigate a new technique of the anorectal fistula treatment with acellular
extracellular matrix (AEM). METHODS: Thirty patients with anorectal fistula were treated with …

AIM: To compare the efficacy and safety of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) bioprosthetic
material and endorectal advancement flap (ERAF) in treatment of complex anorectal fistula …

New technical approaches involving biologically derived products have been applied in the
treatment for anal fistulas in order to avoid the risk of fecal incontinence. The aim of this …

Anal fistula (AF) presents a chronic problem for patients and colorectal surgeons alike.
Surgical treatment may result in impairment of continence and long-term risk of recurrence …

Several biomaterials have been proposed to treat anal fistula alone or in combination with
other surgical procedures aiming to reduce recurrence rates while minimizing continence …

Surgery for an anal fistula may result in recurrence or impairment of continence. The ideal
treatment for an anal fistula should be associated with low recurrence rates, minimal …

BACKGROUND: Bioprosthetic plugs represent a promising technique for the treatment of
anal fistula simple because they allow simple and repeatable application, preservation of …

Anal fistulas are difficult to treat because they are often recalcitrant to medical therapies and
surgical treatment may lead to significant morbidities. A recent novel biologically derived …

BACKGROUND: Human acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has been used successfully for the
treatment of severe burns, ureter support, and abdominal wall reconstruction. This study was …

Aim Fibrin glue and porcine intestinal submucosa are used in novel sphincter‐preserving
techniques to heal anal fistulae. However, their success is highly variable and decreases …
