Study Summary
Drainage seton is usually placed for long-term control of symptoms, and hence it has to be effective in drainage of infection, durable, and comfortable to the patients. The present study assumes that different seton materials would attain different drainage capacities, variable durability and impact on QoL. Therefore, the study aims to compare two commonly used seton materials; Ethibond suture and vessel loop, in the management of CAF in terms of effectiveness in draining infection, percent of seton break and its timing, and change in patients' QoL as measured by a validated questionnaire.
Primary Outcome
Change in the perianal disease activity index
Interventions
- PROCEDURE Ethibond suture
