  • Title: Treatment-Based Three-Dimensional Classification and Management of Anorectal Infections.
    Author: Ortega AE, Cologne KG, Shin J, Lee SW, Ault GT.
    Journal: World J Surg; 2017 Feb; 41(2):574-589. PubMed ID: 27766401.
    Abstract:
    This article provides a current overview on clinical anatomy, pathophysiology, workup and surgical management of anorectal abscesses. Based on the three-dimensional nature of anorectal abscesses, a novel treatment-based classification is proposed. It examines the basis of a philosophic shift from simple drainage to concomitant definitive treatment of abscesses and their underlying primary fistulous trajectories. Complications are discussed specifically in this context.
