Anal Seton Placement

Anal seton placement is a surgical procedure used to treat anal fistulas by inserting a seton, which is a piece of material, into the fistula tract to promote drainage and healing. The seton helps to maintain the patentcy of the fistula, allowing for continuous drainage while minimizing the risk of infection and promoting tissue healing. This procedure is typically considered when other treatment options have failed or in complex cases requiring a more prolonged management approach.
