The aim of this study is to describe the use of FILAC technique (Fistula – Tract Laser Closure) minimally invasive and preservation sphincter technique. FILAC has been described in the literature as an option in the management of anorectal fistula.
Várias opções cirúrgicas são descritas para o tratamento de fístulas anorretais, especialmente em casos complexos, onde as taxas de recorrência e a possibilidade de incontinência pós-operatória ainda são elevadas. O objetivo deste estudo é descrever o uso da técnica FILAC (Fechamento do trajeto da fístula à laser), técnica minimamente invasiva com preservação esfincteriana. FILAC tem sido descrito na literatura como uma opção no manejo da fistula pcolerianal. |
