Background:Accurate preoperative evaluation of fistula-in-ano can guide the choice of surgical procedure and may improve healing rates.This prospective study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of conventional 3D transperi...
Background: Ligation of the inter-sphincter fistula tract associated with anal plug (LIFT-Plug) is a new anal fistula treatment procedure at the Yaoundé Central Hospital. A two-sided prosthesis piece bent in the shap...
BACKGROUND The association of tuberculosis(TB)with anal fistulas can make its treatment quite difficult.The main challenge is timely detection of TB in anal fistulas and its proper management.There is little data avai...

AIM To establish and evaluate an experimental porcine model of fistula-in-ano.METHODS Twelve healthy pigs were randomly divided into two groups. Under general anesthesia, the experimental group underwent rubber band l...
AIM: To prospectively perform the PERFACT procedure in supralevator anal fistula/abscess.METHODS: Magnetic resonance imaging was done preoperatively in all the patients. Proximal cauterization around the internal open...
AIM: To check the efficacy of the PERFACT procedure in highly complex fistula-in-ano.METHODS: The PERFACT procedure(proximal superficial cauterization, emptying regularly fistula tracts and curettage of tracts) entail...
AIM: To assess agreement between different forms of T2 weighted imaging(T2WI), and post-contrast T1WI in the depiction of fistula tracts, inflammation, and internal openings with that of a reference test. METHODS: Thi...
Broadly,complex fistulas are those that are not low transsphincteric or intersphincteric. The objectives of surgical management are to achieve fistula healing,prevent recurrences and maintain continence. The risk of i...
