Study of anal fistula care in infants and children
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study includes babies and children (ages 0–18) who have an anal fistula and receive a specific kind of treatment called a non-cutting seton. It aims to better understand fistula-in-ano care using this approach in young patients.

This study tests a surgical technique for treating high anal fistulas, which are tunnels that form between the anal canal and the skin. The procedure aims to drain the fistula and preserve muscle function, potentially reducing the risk of incontinence.
This trial tests a hydrogel made from natural materials to help heal a specific type of anal fistula. It may be an option if you have a single high transsphincteric fistula with a seton in place for at least four weeks.
This study tests a device called BioHealx for closing anal fistulas that have not healed after previous treatment. It aims to see how well the device works in real-world use.
This study compares two ways to treat a simple anal fistula: traditional surgery (fistulectomy) versus a newer technique that uses a laser to close the fistula tract. The goal is to see which method heals better and causes less discomfort.
This study looks at whether cleaning the bowels before a type of fistula surgery called FiLaC helps the healing process. It compares patients who have bowel prep with those who don't, to see if it improves recovery.
This study follows people having surgery for an anal fistula to see how well they recover. It uses your feedback to measure results, and you'll have check-ins for a year.
