Core Tip The management of complex anal fistulas requires a comprehensive approach that integrates modern surgical techniques with traditional Chinese medicine. Combining precise anatomical interventions with traditional Chinese medicine’s holistic modulation of inflammation and tissue repair can significantly improve healing rates, reduce recurrence, and preserve anorectal function, ultimately enhancing patient recovery and quality of life.
