The abscess or the stula without the external opening is always approached by the transanal opening
of the internal anal sphincter (Fig. 13.5a, b). The
management approach remains the same as in the
A4 type of intersphincteric stula. The incision of
Eradicating pelvic disease will cure the stula
(Fig. 13.6). Therefore, sphincter division is not
required.

13.4 Management ofTrans-
A trans-sphincteric stula could be either high or
low. Less than 30% of the external anal sphincter
is involved in the low trans-sphincteric stula [6].
In contrast, over 30% of the external anal sphincter
is involved in the high trans-sphincteric stula [6].
However, according to some authors, the differentiation between low and high trans- sphincteric stula depends upon whether less than or more than
66% of the external sphincter is involved [7, 8]. A
low trans-sphincteric stula crosses the lower onethird of the external anal sphincter, whereas a high
trans-sphincteric stula crosses the upper or middle third of the external anal sphincter [7, 8].
13.4.1 B1 Uncomplicated
• The lowermost internal anal sphincter, supercial, and subcutaneous external sphincter are

divided in an uncomplicated low transsphincteric stula. The disturbance to the anal
continence is minimal (Fig.13.7a, b).
13.4.2 B2 Complicated
• Trans-sphincteric stula with high blind tract
or extension to the supralevator space.
Fistulotomy is performed up to the supercial part of the external anal sphincter. If
adequately drained, the upper extension will
heal itself. Whenever probing is done, the
probe invariably goes straight. Because the
trans-sphincteric tract is at a right angle to
the main tract, it is challenging to move the
probe from the external to the internal opening, as shown (Fig. 13.8a–c). Aggressive
probing can lead to the formation of an
extrasphincteric stula. After identication
of internal opening, a transanal approach is
better (Table13.2).

13.5 Management ofSuprasphincteric Fistula

13.5 Management
ofSuprasphincteric Fistula
This is an uncommon stula and is challenging to
cure.
• The rst and most crucial step is to excise the
internal opening and surrounding tissue. The
intersphincteric part of the tract is opened by
dividing the internal anal sphincter up to the
anorectal ring. The deep part of the external
a
Supra - sphincteric tract
anal sphincter should never be cut. The edges
of the cut internal sphincter are marsupialized
with the anal canal wall. The rest of the tract is
curetted. At 6 o’clock, a stulotomy from the
internal opening to the anal verge is performed
for drainage (Fig.13.9a, b).
Park proposed that such stulas are usually
horseshoe and, after a while, form a crescentic
brous ring, which acts as a sphincter. A staged
stulotomy can be attempted [4] (Table13.3).

13.6 Management
ofExtrasphincteric Fistula
1. Extrasphincteric Tract Secondary to a
Trans-sphincteric Fistula
One of the openings in this stula is the primary internal opening of cryptoglandular origin
in the anal canal. The second is the transsphincteric stula’s rectal opening extending
a
ic tract
External anal sphincter
from the extrasphincteric region (Fig.13.10a).
In such stulas, stulotomy can be carried out
from the internal to the external perineal opening (Fig.13.10b). The distal tract opening into
the rectum may pose a problem in healing due
to high rectal pressure leading to contamination. A temporary diversion colostomy may be
required to heal the tract completely [4]. These
cases, however, are sporadic.

2. Extrasphincteric Fistula Due to Trauma
The primary cause is foreign body pene-
tration from the perineum (Fig. 13.11).
Removing the foreign body is necessary.
However, an iatrogenic stula may also
develop by aggressive probing. No sphincter
cutting procedure is required. The patient
may require a temporary diversion colostomy
[4].

3. Extrasphincteric Fistula Due to Anorectal
Diseases
The underlying pathologies like Crohn’s
disease, ulcerative colitis, or malignancy must
be treated in this type of stula [4].

Inammation
The primary source of infection in the pelvis should be managed [4] (Table13.4).

13 Fistulotomy: Still aGold Standard!
13.7 Simple Fistulotomy Technique
The patient is placed in a lithotomy position
under spinal, regional, or general anesthesia.
Hydrogen peroxide is injected through the external opening, and bubbles are observed owing
out of the internal opening (Fig.13.12a). The stula tract is demarcated by injecting methylene
blue (Fig.13.12b).
A probe is gently inserted into the tract
through the external opening and brought out
through the internal opening, and the overlying
tract is divided (Fig.13.12c, d). Unipolar cautery
or bare laser ber is used to open the tract over
the probe. Once the tract is laid open, the base
can be seen stained with methylene blue, an afr-
mative sign of the stula tract. The tract should
be followed to see other branches demarcated by
methylene blue. In a low intersphincteric stula,
the subcutaneous part of the external anal sphincter is divided. In a low trans-sphincteric stula,
the subcutaneous and the lower part of the supercial external anal sphincter are always divided.
If the supercial part of the external anal sphincter needs to be cut, primary sphincter repair
should be done to avoid anal incontinence. The
division of the lowermost part of the external anal
sphincter can be associated with acceptable postoperative incontinence. The internal opening and
the nidus of primary infection in the intersphincteric space are scooped out (Fig.13.12e, f). The
wound base is then curetted and left open to heal
by secondary intention. The curetted unhealthy

granulation tissue is sent for a histopathology
examination. Finally, marsupialization of stulotomy wound edges is done (Fig.13.12g, h). No
packing of the wound is required.
• Prevents the bridging of the margins of the stula tract.
• Prevents early skin closure. The skin heals
faster than mucosa; the underlying raw area
13.7.1 Advantages
ofMarsupialization
Marsupialization is not a part of the stulotomy
technique but has the following advantages [9]:
• Decreases the size of the wound.
• Maintains hemostasis from the edges of the
wound.
• Avoids trapping of the fecal matter underneath
the wound margins.
13.7.2 Results
Ho et al. reported faster healing in stulotomy
with marsupialization [10]. Interrupted sutures
for marsupialization of margins are taken using
2-0 or 3-0 Polyglactin. Continuous sutures, on
the other hand, are recommended by Pescatori
etal. because they provide better obliteration of
perianal wounds, reducing the risk of bleeding
and suppuration after surgery [9].
