Core Tip	We present a review with a critical appraisal on the modern procedures for anal fistula which aims to the common goal of minimising the injury to the anal sphincters whilst preserving optimal function. We found the following ones as the most representative: Ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract, anal fistula plug derived from porcine small intestinal submucosa and the new designed GORE BioA? plug, Fibrin glue, Fistula laser closure, Video-assisted anal fistula treatment and Adipose-derived stem cells. We examined the advantages and drawbacks for each procedure through the outcomes reported in literature.
