Purpose. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of the anal fistula plug (AFP) for the treatment of fistula-in-ano. Methods. A total of 31 studies, published since 2006 to 2010 were extracted and 19 of them were finally included in this systematic review. 8 were retrospective case series, 9 prospective studies, 1 prospective non-randomized controlled trial and 1 randomized controlled trial. In these 19 studies, a total of 551 patients were included, who were treated with anal fistula plug. Results. The follow-up period ranged from 3-24 months. The AFP procedure had a success rate ranging from 15.6-88 %. From 551 patients treated with AFP, 300 (54.4 %) were cured. The success rate in patients with cryptoglandular origin (K) was 55.1 % and the success rate in patients with fistulas of other origin was 54.9 %. We did not notice difference in success rate between age, gender, fistula anatomy and etiology. Conclusions. The anal fistula plug method is a reliable method in treat of complex fistula-in-ano. Future studies should help to clarify the place of anal fistula plug in anal fistula surgery. |
