This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a procedure called Fistura®, which uses radiofrequency energy (similar to controlled heat treatment) to help heal complex anal fistulas — abnormal tunnels in the tissues around the anus that are difficult to treat. The study will follow patients for up to one year to see how well the procedure works and whether it affects bowel control.
Complex anal fistulas are challenging to treat because they involve deeper tissues and multiple pathways, making them prone to returning after standard surgery. This treatment aims to offer patients a better option with fewer complications.

You likely don't qualify if…
You would receive the Fistura® radiofrequency procedure on an outpatient basis. After the procedure, you would return for regular follow-up visits over one year to allow doctors to monitor how well the fistula is healing and to check that your bowel control remains normal. You will also complete questionnaires about your symptoms and recovery during these visits.
