| Core Tip |
In 132 patients with complex anal fistulas, this retrospective cohort study compared traditional Chinese medicine-integrated surgical treatment with conventional seton drainage. The integrated approach produced better results. Faster healing (21.5 days vs 28.3 days), less problems (10% vs 20%), decreased recurrence rates (2.9% vs 11.3%), and improved patient satisfaction are some of the main benefits. These results provide a viable therapeutic paradigm for situations where traditional methods prove ineffective, supporting the clinical acceptance of evidence-based traditional Chinese medicine integration in difficult anal fistula therapy. |
