  • Title: [Recurrent anorectal abscesses].
    Author: Turra G, Gherardi GM, Mangiarotti S, Arrighi E.
    Journal: Chir Ital; 1984 Apr; 36(2):266-71. PubMed ID: 6525691.
    Abstract:
    A study of 78 patients with recurrent anorectal abscess was carried out to elucidate the cause of recurrence. The inadequate treatment (incision and drainage) and the spontaneous rupture or resolution of the abscess with no further treatment were the most common reasons for recurrence. At surgery, 18 patients were found to have recurrent hidradenitis suppurativa. The authors recommend a careful regional exploration under anesthesia and an aggressive surgical approach to achieve satisfactory results and to ensure minimal, if any recurrence.
