OTSC ® Proctology vs. fistulectomy and primary sphincter reconstruction as a treatment for low trans-sphincteric anal fistula in a randomized controlled pilot trial.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that OTSC® Proctology is an effective and safe treatment in achieving permanent closure of the internal fistula opening in selected patients, with excellent results in terms of pain, postoperative incontinence, healing time, and days of hospitalization.
