Medical Conditions - Seton Surgery

Treatment for fistulas is done using Seton. A seton is inserted into the wound to keep the fistula open for several weeks. This prevents the requirement to slit the sphincter muscles while allowing them to drain and aid in their healing. Although they allow fistulas to drain, loose setons do not treat them.
