About Anal Fistulas
Anal fistula disease occurs more often in men, ages 18-50. Fistulas have a complicated pathogenesis resulting in poor quality of life due to frequent recurrence, fecal incontinence, abscess, odor, and pain. Fistulas were first described by Hippocrates over 2,500 years ago, yet surgical procedures are often associated with suboptimal treatment results including incontinence and the need for repeat procedures due to recurrence.
