    Surgical management of perianal fistulas is complex due to high recurrence rates and risks of sphincter injury.

  • 2

    Ovine forestomach matrix (OFM) is proposed as a minimally invasive biomaterial for perianal fistula closure.

  • 3

    The study evaluated OFM's efficacy in a retrospective case series involving 14 patients with perianal fistulas.

  • 4

    Primary outcomes included complete healing at 8 weeks, with secondary outcomes assessing recurrence and complications.

  • 5

    The study highlights the potential of OFM to reduce postoperative complications compared to traditional invasive methods.
