Investigating the therapeutic effect of the non-cutting traction seton technique on perianal abscess.The clinical data of 70 patients with perianal abscesses diagnosed and treated by the Department of Anorectal Surgery of University Affiliated Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were collected, and conducted a retrospective study on them, of which 40 cases were treated with non-cut traction seton in the study group, and other 30 cases were treated with perianal abscess incision and drainage in the control group. The perioperative indexes (operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, time of postoperative dressing change, time of postoperative granulation tissue formation, postoperative defecation-control ability, postoperative pain score, postoperative wound cleanliness) and follow-up indexes (wound healing time, incontinence Wexner score, recurrence rate, patient satisfaction) were compared between these two groups.The operation time of the study group was more than that of the control group, and the difference was not statistically significant (P > .05). The intraoperative bleeding volume, time of postoperative dressing change, time of postoperative granulation tissue formation, the scores on postoperative defecation-control ability, the scores on postoperative wound cleanliness, postoperative complication rate, postoperative pain score, time of wound healing, incontinence Wexner score, and recurrence rate all from the study group were better than those in the control group. The patient satisfaction from the study group was higher than that in the control group, and the above differences were statistically significant (P < .05).Non-cutting traction suture technique has obvious advantages in the treatment of perianal abscess, shortening wound healing time and granulation tissue formation time, reducing intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complication rate, etc. It provides a reference for clinical treatment of perianal abscess.
