A Novel Method for Chronic Anal Fissure Treatment: Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells - A Pilot Study
Investigators performed a prospective pilot study to test the feasibility and safety of autologous adipose derived regenerative cell (ADRC) transplantation in treatment of anal fissures. The study included 6 patients with chronic anal fissures with symptoms that had an average duration of 24 months. All patients were candidates for surgical treatment as all previous conservative treatments were unsuccessful. The pain level was measured using the VAS scale and was recorded before the treatment and on every consultation following the treatment. The initial hypothesis is that application of ADRCs may be an alternative to lateral sphincterotomy and a reliable procedure to avoid fecal incontinence.
