Abstract

AIM:

The aim was to compare the effectiveness of the anal fistula plug (AFP) with the rectal advancement flap (RAF) for complex cryptoglandular anal fistulas.

METHODS:

We conducted a literature search to identify relevant available articles published without language restriction from Embase and PubMed databases and the Cochrane Library. Studies comparing outcomes with the AFP vs RAF for complex cryptoglandular anal fistulas were eligible for inclusion.

RESULTS:

A total of 11 articles with 810 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Four RCTs and one observational clinical study provided long-term follow-up. The pooled analysis of all 11 studies indicated that there was no significant difference between the AFP and RAF in terms of healing rate, recurrence rate and incidence of fistula complications. However, the pooled results of studies with long-term follow-up revealed that the RAF group had a significantly higher healing rate (OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.13, 0.78, P = 0.01) and lower recurrence rate (OR 4.45, 95% CI 1.45, 13.65, P = 0.009) than the AFP group.

CONCLUSIONS:

For the treatment of complex cryptoglandular anal fistulas, the RAF was superior to the AFP in terms of healing and recurrence rate after pooling of randomized controlled trials with long-term follow-up, even though a comparison based on the pooling of all studies showed no significant difference.

 

 
Question posée
 
Comparer l’efficacité de la mise en place d’un plug à celle d’un lambeau d’avancement dans les fistules anales crypto-glandulaires complexes.
 
Question posée
 
Le lambeau d’avancement est plus efficace en termes de taux de guérison et de récidive à long terme.
 
Commentaires

Une méta-analyse d’études de qualité méthodologique inégale mais un argument supplémentaire, s’il en était besoin, pour abandonner le plug dans le traitement des fistules anales.
