Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Effectiveness of silver nitrate solution in treatment of anal fistula is is aimed to be investigated.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The anal fistula is a granulation tissue-lined tract, we thought of a way to ablate this granulation tissue using a chemical agent, which would eventually induce healing with fibrosis and closure of the tract without any surgical intervention. Aiming to reduce the surgery related complications; we investigated the effectiveness of silver nitrate solution as a chemical agent in the treatment of anal fistula.
