It typically develops as a result of an infection in an anal gland, which leads to the formation of an abscess (collection of pus) near the anus. The abscess then finds a path of least resistance to drain, resulting in the formation of a fistula. The choice of treatment depends on the specific characteristics of the fistula and the patient's overall health. Various options includes conventional techniques like Fistulotomy, Fistulectomy, Seton placement, to most recent techniques like Laser Ablation of Fistula Tract, LIFT, VAAFT.
