  • Title: [Our experience with the treatment of high perianal fistulas with the mucosal flap advancement technique].
    Author: Marino G, Greco E, Gasparrini M, Romanzi A, Ottaviani M, Nasi S, Pasquini G.
    Journal: Chir Ital; 2004; 56(1):135-9. PubMed ID: 15038659.
    Abstract:
    The authors present their experience with the treatment of high transphincteric anal fistulas with the mucosal flap advancement technique. This technique, though by no means easy to perform, allows fistulas to be treated in a single surgical session in comparison to the technique in which setone is used or to the less well known transposition techniques, given the same long-term results in terms of continence and recurrence rate. After a brief overview of the problem, from the points of view of both aetiopathogenesis and classification, the principal surgical treatment techniques are described, presenting the results and complications observed in the authors' own case series.
