Disease(A6)
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 ofTrans-
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].

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 super­cial 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 identication of internal opening, a transanal approach is better (Table13.2).

13.5 Management ofSuprasphincteric 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] (Table13.3).

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

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].

13 Fistulotomy: Still aGold 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 afr-
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 super­cial external anal sphincter are always divided. If the supercial 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 ofMarsupialization
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 etal. because they provide better obliteration of perianal wounds, reducing the risk of bleeding and suppuration after surgery [9].
