| Core Tip |
Endoluminal radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a sphincter-preserving option for perianal fistulas. However, standardized energy settings validated in true fistula tissue are lacking. Using a porcine model of perianal fistula, we performed ex vivo prescreening and in vivo histological validation of four candidate settings with a 50-mm segmental RFA catheter. The 120 °C/24 seconds setting produced the most effective ablation (highest ablation/granulation ratio) with the deepest and most consistent burn depth along the tract, providing a practical reference parameter for further translational studies. |
