Abstract:
Objective:To observe the clinical effect of anal fistula incision, muscle layer suture, and internal drainage surgery in the treatment of low anal fistula.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 65 patients with low anal fistula admitted to Fifth Hospital of Zhangjiakou City From March 2021 to March 2023, and they were divided into two groups based on different surgical methods. The control group consisted of 32 patients who underwent traditional anal fistula incision and thread drainage, while the study group consisted of 33 patients who underwent anal fistula incision and muscle layer suture internal drainage. The duration of surgery, wound recovery, anal function, anal motility, degree of pain, and recurrence rate were compared.Results:The surgical time of the study group was longer than that of the control group: (34.86 ± 4.17) min vs. (25.21 ± 3.95) min ( P<0.05), the wound healing time was shorter than that of the control group: (15.72 ± 3.26) d vs. (18.94 ± 4.42) d ( P<0.05), and the wound area was smaller than that of the control group: (5.76 ± 1.72) cm 2 vs. (7.78 ± 1.89) cm 2 ( P<0.05). At 4 weeks after surgery, the Wexner scores in both groups were lower than those at 1 d after surgery ( P<0.05), and the study group was lower than the control group: (3.39 ± 1.08) scores vs. (4.15 ± 1.21) scores ( P<0.05). After surgery, the high pressure zone length, anal rest pressure and anal maximum contraction pressure in the control group were lower than before surgery ( P<0.05), and the study group were higher than the control group: (4.92 ± 1.11) cm vs. (3.64 ± 1.02) cm, (11.93 ± 1.22) kPa vs. (9.45 ± 1.08) kPa, (13.34 ± 3.42) kPa vs. (10.82 ± 2.75) kPa ( P<0.05). At 48 h after surgery, the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of both groups were lower than those at 12 h after surgery ( P<0.05), and the study group was lower than the control group: (1.63 ± 0.21) scores vs. (2.25 ± 0.34) scores ( P<0.05). After 6 months of follow-up, neither group experienced any recurrence. Conclusions:Anal fistula incision, muscle layer suture and internal drainage surgery for low anal fistula can shorten the wound healing time, reduce the wound area, improve anal function and anal motility, alleviate pain, and avoid recurrence. However, the surgical time is longer.
