  Purpose

Today, there is no available equipment specifically designed for the procedure of instillation of fibrin glue for the repair of perianal fistulae. The currently used equipment involves surgical tools generally used for fistula surgeries, and injection syringes designed for general use. The injection of biological adhesives is performed using standard adhesive syringes that are not specially designed for use in perianal fistulae. The use of the semi-flexible metal probes can cause trauma to tissue and injure the fistula tract, creating an additional path, and the injection syringe and catheter are often inconvenient for perianal use. This study was design to test the use of Halevy kit, by gastroenterology specialist, as a non traumatic probing, mechanical debridement and injecting or inserting device for treatment substances in perianal fistulas. In this study a gastroenterologist will perform the procedure, in each procedure a trained colorectal surgeon will be present during the surgery to oversee the procedure and to provide surgical help if required.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Success of cannulation of the perianal fistula using the Pathway Probe Catheter will be evaluated [ Time Frame: after sugery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Success in using the cleaning brush in preparing the fistula for biologic adhesive injection will be evaluated [ Time Frame: after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Success in inserting a draining Seton into the fistula tract by the Halevy kit [ Time Frame: after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Success of injecting biologic adhesive into the fistula tract using the designated catheter will be evaluated [ Time Frame: after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Control of sphincter will be evaluated by -the Cleveland continence score [ Time Frame: after follow up ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Discharge from fistula will be evaluated by a questionnaire comparing the situation before and after surgery. [ Time Frame: after follow up ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Healing of the fistula will be evaluated by a physical examination [ Time Frame: after follow up ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
