Abstract

AIM: There are certain problems experienced while retightening the seton material during the patient follow-ups, such as pain and anaesthesia requirements in perianal fistula. The aim of the present study was to compare a sailor's knot with other seton tightening methods for the surgical treatment of perianal fistulas.
