Comparison of Wound Healing in Fistulectomy and Fistulectomy With Marsupialization

The study was done at Central Park Medical College Lahore during January to September, 2024. Low fistula-in-ano patients were randomized into 2 groups i.e. Group A (SUR 1 fistulectomy) and Group B (170 patients in each group). The same surgical team applied all their procedures to reach spinal anesthesia. Wound infection determined after the operation was done clinically and verified by culture at 10 days of follow up. Statistical analyses based on SPSS version 26 were carried out and p < 0.05 terminated as significant.
