Abstract:
Objective To compare the effect of ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract (LIFT) and ?stulectomy in the treatment of simple low anal ?stula. Methods Totally 90 cases of patients with the same type were randomly divided into observation group and control group by single-blind, randomized and parallel- controlled research methods, with 45 cases in each group. Observation group were treated by LIFT and control group by fistulectomy. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, hospital stays, hospital fees, cure rate, healing time, postoperative pain sore, postoperative anal function, total incidence rate of complications, recurernce rate and satisfaction rate were compared between the two groups. Results The operation time of the observation group [( 34. 7± 4 . 06) min] was longer than that of the control group [( 21. 7± 3 . 91) min]. The wound healing time of the observation group [(13.49±2.73) d] was shorter than that of the control group [(21.67±2.81) d], and the difference was statistically signi?cant (P<0.05). The postoperative pain scores and Wexner scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group at all time points, and the difference was statistically signi?cant (P < 0. 05). There was no signi?cance in intraoperative bleeding volume, hospital stays, hospital fees, cure rate, total incidence rate of complications, recurernce rate and satisfaction rate (P >0.05). Conclusion LIFT can shorten wound healing time, relieve postoperative pain and protect postoperative anal function, but it has no comparative advantage with ?stulectomy in terms of operation time and cure rate.
