Abstract: Background Many surgeons believe that the distance from the external opening to the anal verge (DEOAV) predicts the complexity of a cryptoglandular fistulas-in-ano and, therefore, predicts the need for additional imaging. However, there is no… read more here.

Abstract: A 43-year-old woman was under study due to intermittent anal suppuration, diagnosed by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging with high intersphincteric fistula and no external fistula orifice (Parks classification). The patient was operated on in… read more here.
