Abstract
It has been shown that 30‐50 percent of the anal glands branch out into the intersphincteric plane. Occlusion of the drainage duct results in stasis and infection. This is known as the Cryptoglandular Theory, which was introduced by Chiari and Herrmann and Desfosses. This infection can lead to an intersphincteric abscess. Twenty‐two patients with complaints, clinical symptoms and signs suggestive of fistula‐in‐ano under all surgical units were included in the study. A baseline blood and urine investigations done in all patients. Relevant investigations were done in patients who had past history of medical illnesses as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, etc. These patients were thoroughly examined. The per rectal examination findings recorded in compliant patients and in whom there was no severe perianal pain. In conclusion this study has shown that anal endosonography is a useful and reliable tool in the preoperative evaluation of anal fistulae.
