Summary
This study aims to compare the efficacy of two surgical techniques in treatment of complex anal fistulas. The first technique involves rerouting of the fistula tract with placement of a vessel loop seton around the internal anal sphincter, sparing the external sphincter whereas the second technique entails ligation of inter-sphincteric fistulous tract (LIFT). The main objectives of the study are to assess the success rate, time to healing, change in quality of life, and complications of each procedure including fecal incontinence.
