What is Understanding Fistula-in-Ano: Types & Treatment about?

1) A fistula-in-ano is an abnormal connection between the anal canal and the skin near the anus that allows for drainage of abscesses or infected material. 2) It is usually caused by an untreated anal abscess and takes the path of least resistance from the internal opening in the anal canal to the external opening. 3) Fistulas are classified based on their relationship to the anal sphincter muscles, as this determines appropriate treatment to eliminate infection while preserving continence.
