Anal Fistula is a condition which starts with infection in the glands of the anal canal. This is a chronic abnormal communication with the epithelialised surface of the anal canal and the perianal skin. Anal fistula generally arises in people with a history of anal abscesses and which has not healed properly.
This originates from the Anal Glands which drain into the anal canal. If the opening of these glands get closed, then a swelling forms and will finally burst into the exterior skin. The area along which pus drains can become a fistula.

Treatments for the condition.
As a few of the fistula conditions will heal by themselves, surgery is usually necessary to cure Anal Fistula. Surgery for an anal fistula is regularly carried out under regional anesthetic. Most of the patients require a single day hospital admission. Some of the options for the treatment are mentioned below.
Fistulotomy:
It is the most common surgery for anal fistulas and it includes cutting along the length of the fistula to open it up and hence it heals as a flat wound. Fistulotomy is considered as the most common surgery with less risk.
Seton techniques:
Seton is a thread which will keep along the fistula tract for a stipulated period of time to induce fibrosis of the tract. This drains and helps it cure. Seton is also played during fistulotomy around the sphincter muscles, to avoid injury to the muscle and incontinence.
Advancement flap procedure: This process scraping out the fistula and wrapping the tract where it enters the bowel using the part of the skin and terminal most part of the anal canal. This is a more complex procedure and is required only for recurrent and complex fistulae.
