This Study Compares the Conventional Cutting Seton Technique and a GLUBRAN®-Coated Seton in High Perianal Fistula Treatment. The Study Aims to Determine Whether the GLUBRAN®-Coated Seton Improves Healing, Reduces Postoperative Pain and Recurrence, and Better Preserves Anal Continence.

Sponsor: Kasr El Aini Hospital

Summary

High anal fistula is a complex anorectal condition that can cause persistent pain, purulent discharge, recurrent infection, and a significant reduction in quality of life. The conventional cutting seton technique is an established treatment modality; however, it may be associated with postoperative pain, delayed healing, recurrence, and impairment of anal continence. GLUBRAN® is a synthetic surgical adhesive with antimicrobial and tissue-healing properties that may enhance the performance of the cutting seton and improve clinical outcomes. This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the efficacy and safety of a conventional cutting seton with a GLUBRAN®-coated cutting seton in adult patients with high anal fistulas. Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to one of the two treatment groups and followed for six months after surgery. The primary and secondary outcome measures will include fistula healing rate, time to complete healing, postoperative pain, anal continence, recurrence, postoperative complications, and length of hospital stay. The findings of this study may provide evidence regarding whether coating a cutting seton with GLUBRAN® offers clinical advantages over the conventional technique, potentially leading to improved healing, reduced postoperative morbidity, and better preservation of anal continence in the management of high anal fistulas.
