Excerpt

Anal fistula influences patients’ quality of life significantly by causing pain, hygienic problems and constant perianal inflammation [1]. The main goal of surgical treatment is to close the internal fistula opening and to preserve anorectal function. Minimally invasive procedures have been developed to heal fistulas without damaging anal sphincter muscle. Coring out of the fistula tract is an essential part of some techniques. However, this may be difficult and carries the risk of injury of the sphincter muscle and incomplete removal of the tract. FiXcision® is a novel instrument, designed for a controlled circumferential excision of the entire perianal fistula tract, minimizing tissue trauma to the sphincter muscle. …
