Medical service - Treatment of rectal fistulas.
Rectal fistula is a pathological channel that forms in the soft tissues of the perianal region. The disease occurs against the background of a chronic inflammatory process inside the rectum.
Conservative therapy of rectal fistula is ineffective.
The complexity of surgical treatment of rectal fistulas is due to the involvement of the sphincter in the pathological process. The main task of modern methods of treating rectal fistulas is not only the elimination of the inflammatory process, but also the preservation of the structures of the sphincter.
The choice of surgical intervention technique takes into account the characteristics of the clinical case and the localization of the canal relative to nearby tissues.
The sphincter-preserving method of surgical treatment of rectal fistulas is used in the treatment of patients with already existing insufficiency of the sphincter. Such an organ-preserving nature of surgical intervention can reduce the risk of developing postoperative complications.
