Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this open, multicenter pilot trial is to evaluate the tolerance of the combination of a gel and a plug made of Wharton's jelly in the treatment of ano-perineal fistulas resistant to surgical treatment.
Interventions
SygeLIX-F (plug) is inserted through the internal orifice while cryptoglandular space is filled by SygeLIX-G (gel).
