Zusammenfassung

Die chirurgische Versorgung komplexer Analfisteln kann herausfordernd sein. Hierbei stellen die Fistelheilung und der Erhalt der Kontinenz relevante Behandlungsziele dar. Dem Konflikt zwischen Fistelheilung und Kontinenzerhalt wird man unter Verwendung sphinkterschonender Operationsverfahren gerecht, wie beispielsweise dem LIFT-Verfahren („ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract“), Flap, Plugs, Filler etc. Zeitgleich steigt sowohl das Rezidivrisiko als auch die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Kontinenzstörung mit der Anzahl bisheriger Verschlussversuche deutlich an. Nach Versagen der gängigen sphinkterschonenden Verfahren können Reserveverfahren wie der Grazilis-Flap, der kutane Flap oder das York-Mason-Verfahren (für anteriore Fisteln) als weitere sphinkterschonende Optionen zum Einsatz kommen. Dieser Beitrag beschreibt die Reparatur einer chronischen komplexen anterioren Fistel mittels eines kutanen Flaps.

Abstract

The surgical management of complex anal fistulas can be very challenging. Fistula closure (healing) and preservation of continence are relevant outcome measures after fistula surgery. The conflict between fistula healing and preservation of continence is met by using sphincter-sparing surgical procedures such as LIFT (“ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract”), flap, plugs, fillers etc. At the same time, both the risk of recurrence and the probability of continence disturbance increase with the number of previous closure attempts. In such cases, reserve procedures like the gracilis flap, the cutaneous flap and the York Mason procedure (for anterior fistulas) can be used for fistula repair without the risk of sphincter damage. This article describes the repair of a chronic complex anterior fistula using a cutaneous flap.
