Comparing two surgeries for high anal fistula
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical techniques (fistula rerouting and LIFT) for treating a high perianal fistula, a tunnel that forms in the muscle around the anus. It aims to find which method works better for people with this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
