Anal fistulas commonly develop after an anorectal abscess or episode of perianal infection. The key treatment objective is to eliminate the fistula while avoiding unnecessary injury to the muscles responsible for continence. At Ahvar Clinic, the surgical technique is selected after the fistula anatomy has been defined.

Preparation
Evaluation by a colorectal specialist is required. Additional imaging may be needed for complex or recurrent fistulas.
