Long-Term Outcomes With the Use of Bioprosthetic Plugs for the Management of Complex Anal Fistulas

Abstract

Bioprosthetic plugs are effective for the long-term closure of complex fistulas-in-ano. Randomized clinical trials comparing bioprosthetic plugs with other sphincter-preserving methods for fistula management need to be conducted to further determine the role of bioprosthetics in the management of anal fistulas.
