Summary
Anal Fistula can be a challenging condition to treat. Microdialysis has never before been used to examine the inner environment of anal fistula. This is now going to be performed.
Detailed description
Patients with anal fistula can have a reduced quality of life for years do to fistula complications. This condition is not well researched and more knowledge is needed to provide better care. Microdialysis has been used to study other organs of the body such as the brain, liver and GI-tract. Upcoming study is going to study the inner environment of the anal fistula in regards to lactate, pyruvate and glucose. The study group is patients with anal fistula that with a need for seton treatment. Measurements with microdialysis will take place before operative procedure and one month after getting their seton inserted.
