Description
Summary:There is a need for a low cost treatment for complex anal fistulas that can heal without causing fecal incontinence, with room for the study of herbal medicines. To evaluate the effect of the glycerin Aloe barbadensis Miller extract in the treatment of anal fistula in rats. Thirty Wistar rats underwent peritoneal anesthesia with ketamine and Xylasine, followed by transfixation of the anal sphincter with a steel wire, which remained for 30 days to develop the anal fistula. After this period, the steel wire was removed and three groups with 10 animals were formed: A (control), without treatment; B (seton), in which a cotton seton was introduced; C (therapeutic seton), in which a cotton thread was introduced as a seton, and Aloe barbadensis Miller extract was daily dripped in the seton; after 30 days, the setons of groups B and C were removed, and after two weeks without a seton euthanasia and removal of specimens was conducted, and the fistula closure and the inflammatory process were analyzed. Fistula persistence was observed in all animals in Group A, six in Group B and three in Group C (p = 0.015). The mean local inflammation levels were 0.9 in Group A; 0.8 in Group B, and 0 in Group C (p = 0.015). The use of a seton soaked in a glycerin Aloe barbadensis Miller extract was effective in the healing of anal fistulas in rats, in addition to causing less inflammatory process than the non-phytotherapeutic seton. Há necessidade de um tratamento de baixo custo para as fístulas anais complexas que possa curar sem causar incontinência fecal, havendo espaço para o estudo de fitoterápicos. Avaliar o efeito do extrato glicerinado de Aloe barbadensis Miller no tratamento de fístula anal em ratos. Utilizou-se 30 ratos Wistar, submetidos à anestesia peritoneal com Cetamina e Xilasina, seguida de transfixação do esfíncter anal com fio de aço, que permaneceu por 30 dias para desenvolvimento da fístula anal. Após este período, o fio de aço foi removido e foram formados três grupos com 10 animais: A (controle), sem tratamento; B (sedenho), em que foi introduzido sedenho de algodão; C (sedenho terapêutico), em que foi introduzido fio de algodão como sedenho, e diariamente foi gotejado no sedenho extrato de Aloe barbadensis Miller; após 30 dias os sedentos dos Grupos B e C foram removidos, e, após duas semanas sem sedenho foi praticada a eutanásia e remoção dos espécimes, analisando-se fechamento da fístula e processo inflamatório. Houve persistência da fístula em todos os an
