1 The enigma of the transsphincteric anal fistula Per-Olof Nyström, M.D., Ph.D. Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden

2 Four principles of treatment for anal fistula 1. Inactivate the fistula 2. Fill and occlude the tract 3. Lay open the fistula tract 4. Close the internal opening The practical treatment options for anal fistula Seton for drainage or cutting Fibrin glue Anal fistula plug Lay open or core out Endo-rectal mucosa flap or anodermal island flap. LIFT intersphincteric severing of tract and ligation of internal opening. VAAFT video assisted fulguration of tract and closure of internal opening.

3 Dudukian & Abcarian (Chicago) WJG 2011;17:3292

4 The failure of each sphincter-preserving procedure (30%-50% recurrence) often results in multiple operations. In essence, the price of preservation of continence at all cost is multiple and often different operations, prolonged disability and disappointment for the patient and the surgeon. Herand Abcarian, Chicago
