Detailed Description

An anal fistula (AF) is a tunnel connecting the anal canal or rectum (internal opening) with the skin (external opening) around the anus. Patients who have a perianal abscess have symptoms include discomfort, trouble sitting, and pus or blood discharge. Simple and complicated anal fistulas are the two types that exist. A complex fistula is difficult to manage, has a higher risk of recurrence rates, and poses a greater threat to continence after surgery. AF was associated with significant morbidity which is a devastating condition with profound effects on both the physical and psychological health of the patient.

Fibrin glue (also called fibrin sealant) is a surgical formulation used to create a fibrin clot for hemostasis, cartilage repair surgeries or wound healing. It contains separately packaged human fibrinogen and human thrombin. New procedures were published in the scientific literature, each with advantages and disadvantages. According to reports, an effective therapy option is the autologous fibrin glue that is rich in platelets.

PRP began to be used in surgery as a regenerative tissue factor

The tract fistula was cleaned with betadine 10% before PRP and PRFP were applied. Then, 2 ml of PRP was injected around the fistula into the tissue (the penetration depth in injection was 5-6 mm), and 4 ml PRFP was mixed with 1 m thrombin and interpositioned into the tract. 2 ml of PRP was injected around the fistula into the tissue (the penetration depth in injection was 5-6 mm), and 4 ml PRFP was mixed with 1 m thrombin and interpositioned into the tract. The operation time was about 20-30 minutes, the clot formation usually takes about 8 minutes, but the anesthesia was extended to 20 minutes to make sure a complete clot in the place of fistula

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
