A comprehensive computerized search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Wanfang and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases was conducted to collect all relevant studies published up to November 2023, evaluating the effects of loose combined cutting seton surgery in treating patients with high anal fistulas. Two researchers independently screened, extracted data, and assessed the quality of the identified studies. RevMan 5.4 software was employed for data analysis. Overall, 16 articles were included, comprising 1124 patients, with 567 undergoing loose combined cutting seton surgery and 557 undergoing simple cutting seton surgery. The analysis revealed patients undergoing loose combined cutting seton surgery had a higher rate of postoperative wound healing (97.44% vs. 81.69%, odds ratio [OR]: 7.49, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.29\u201313.10, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.00001), shorter wound healing time (standardized mean differences [SMD]: \u22121.48, 95% CI: \u22121.89 to \u22121.08, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.00001), lower postoperative wound pain scores (SMD: \u22122.51, 95% CI: \u22123.51 to \u22121.51, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.00001), and a lower rate of postoperative complications (3.43% vs. 20.83%, OR: 0.13, 95% CI: 0.05\u20130.31, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.00001). The current evidence suggests that compared to simple cutting seton surgery, loose combined cutting seton surgery in treating high anal fistulas can promote postoperative wound healing, shorten wound healing time, alleviate pain, and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, making it a worthy clinical practice for widespread application.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.14675","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,14]],"date-time":"2024-03-14T19:10:21Z","timestamp":1710443421000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["RETRACTED:
