Radio frequency fistulotomy: A better tool than the conventional techniques in anal fistula

چکیده
Fistula in ano is defined as an abnormal communication, lined by granulation tissue between the anal canal and the exterior i.e. the skin, which causes a chronic inflammatory response. Most commonly, these fistulae develop following an anal abscess. Inadequate drainage of the abscess or a spontaneous rupture are the two main reasons for development of anal fistula. The occurrence of such abscesses is mostly secondary to infection of an anal gland [cryptoglandular hypothesis of Eisenhammer].
