Abstract
The results of a new out-patient approach to fistula in ano are presented. The technique involved passing a multi-strand stainless steel wire through the fistulous tract and has been used in 56 patients with low fistulae as well as high horseshoe anal fistulae. Recurrence was seen in only 2 patients and none of the patients experienced temporary or permanent incontinence of flatus or faeces.Entities:
