Retrospective analyses were made of 171 of 200 patients on whom operations had been performed for anorectal abscesses and fistulas, between 1981 and 1985. For abscess exposure and deroofing, we tried to perform simultaneous fistulotomy, with no recurrence being recorded from 37 patients treated that way. The major courses of anorectal fistulas proved to be predictible in most cases. Surgical approach and postoperative management are described in some detail. Clinical records were evaluated together with a questionnaire, with particular reference being made to the type of fistula, susceptibility to recurrence, faecal continence as well as length of hospitalisation and certified absence from work.

Introduction: Perianal abscesses pose a considerable obstacle in the realm of postoperative wound treatment owing to their elevated susceptibility to infection and associated consequences. Polymyxin B Ointment, a compound renowned for its antibacterial qualities, has the potential to provide therapeutic advantages by promoting wound healing and mitigating postoperative problems.
Methods: Our institution conducted a thorough retrospective analysis spanning from December 2020 to December 2023 to assess the effectiveness of Compound Polymyxin B Ointment in the management of surgical wounds in patients diagnosed with perianal abscesses.

The perianal abscess is a common emergency surgical presentation. While in most cases simple drainage suffices, occasionally the abscess can track deeply presenting a management challenge. We describe the case of a complex circumferential horseshoe ischioanal abscess with extension below the levator ani through the greater sciatic notch and into the left gluteal region, with the collection involving the intergluteal space and gluteus maximus.

Hemorrhoids, anal fissure, anal fistula and perianal abscess are the most common benign diseases around the anus, which obviously affect people's life and work, and need to be well diagnosed and treated. Based on damage control, the treatment principle is to eliminate relevant disease symptoms and protect the anal function at the same time. Perianal benign diseases are common and frequently occurring, which can be diagnosed and treated in many non-specialist hospitals.

Background: Anal fistula is a common anorectal disorder that significantly diminishes the quality of life for affected patients. Accurate preoperative evaluation of the fistula's traits is essential for customizing surgical strategies, improving patient outcomes, and reducing the likelihood of the disease returning. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of multi-phase contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed T1-weighted imaging using three-dimensional gradient echo sequence volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (CE-FS-T1-3D-VIBE) and fat-suppressed T2-weighted imaging combined with diffusion-weighted imaging (FS-T2WI-DWI) sequence in delineating the characteristics of anal fistulas.

Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are uncommon soft tissue neoplasms derived from Schwann cells that can arise from various regions of the body. The majority originate from the head and neck. They are rarely encountered in the gastrointestinal tract and even more rarely in the anorectal region.
