An Evaluation of The Various Modalities Used forTreatment of Low Fistulas and Their Outcome at a Tertiary CareCenter

Abstract

A fistula-in-ano is an abnormal hollow tract or cavity that is lined with granulation tissue and that connects a primary opening inside the anal canal to a secondary opening in the perianal skin; secondary tracts may be multiple and can extend from the same primary opening. Anal fistula is a common peri-anal surgical problem with which the patient presents the clinician. Most anal fistulas form a good treatable benign lesion of the rectum and anal canal. 90% or more of these cases are a finale of the infections of the cryptoglandulares. As such, the vast majority of these infections are acute and significant majority is a contributory to chronic, low-grade infections.
