An Evaluation of The Various Modalities Used for Treatment of Low Fistulas and Their Outcome at a Tertiary Care Center

Abstract

<jats:p>fistula-in-ano is an abnormal hollow tract or cavity that is lined with granulation tissue and that connects a primary opening insidethe 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.

As such, the vast majority of these infections are acute and significant majority is a contributory to chronic, low-grade infections.</jats:p>
