| Core Tip |
This exploratory study compared the anal fistula clip (AFC) with conventional incision and thread hanging in 70 patients with anal fistulas. Both techniques achieved high short-term cure rates, with AFC demonstrating early postoperative pain reduction, faster wound healing, and better function preservation of. No recurrences were observed during the follow-up period, although these findings were preliminary. By directly closing the internal orifice through sustained centripetal compression, the AFC interrupts infection source while minimizing sphincter injury. Therefore, AFC may be a safe, minimally invasive, and function-preserving alternative for anal fistula management, warranting further investigation in larger and long-term studies. |
