Abstract:
Objective To investigate features and surgical management of anal fistula and perianal abscess in infants. Methods 41 pediatric patients (less than 2 years of age) were reviewed retrospectively.Results All patients were male with mean age of 9.5 months. 40 cases were previous anorectal abscesses. The all fistulas were single. Their origin in the crypts was clearly identified in 35 cases. When anoscopy was routinely performed, abnormal development of crypts was found in 19 cases(46 4%). All sick infants received surgical management. No recurrences were observed in the postoperation.Conclusion There are distinctly different between in infants and in adults for perianal abscess and /or fistula-in-ano. The eradication of the anal fistula and perianal infection is most important in reducing recurrence of postoperation.
