In contrast to this, the score presented here includes the distance to the upper border of the puborectalis muscle or to the external sphincter (anteriorly). In addition this score also takes various

Endoscopic Fistulotomy (EFT) for Parapapillary Choledochoduodenal Fistula
Endoscopy, 1978Up to now, surgery was the only possible treatment for choledochoduodenal fistulas, which are seen more often in Japan than in Europe. This paper presents the value and effect of endoscopic fistulotomy (EFT) as an alternative treatment in those cases. Parapapillary choledochoduodenal fistulas are abserved usually on the longitudinal fold of the papilla

Endoscopic fistulotomy in inflammatory bowel disease (with video)
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2018Fistulas in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pose a key challenge in the management of these patients. We aimed to describe a novel endoscopic method to treat patients with IBD who have fistulas.A cohort of 29 consecutive patients with fistulas and IBD were identified in the registry of our interventional IBD unit.

Fistulotomy and Lay Open Technique
2013Fistulotomy cures fistulas, few arguing with its use for low anal fistulas where recurrence rates are of the order of 5 %. Actually, higher tracts can also be laid open with similar success. All fistulotomy carries a risk of minor incontinence (flatus and slight staining) in between a quarter and one third of patients.

The role of seton in fistulotomy of the anus.
Surgery, gynecology & obstetrics, 1983A five year experience with 45 patients who underwent two stage fistulotomies using seton has been reviewed. The use of seton in suprasphincteric fistulas yields excellent anatomic and physiologic results. It is recommended that a seton be used in all high, complex and suprasphincteric fistulas or when there is doubt as to the extent of the sphincter ...
