Study Notes
Anorectal Disorders
- High and complicated fistulae are treated with C Setons.
- Diabetes must be excluded before treating pruritis ani.
- Pruritis ani is treated by addressing its underlying cause.
Anatomy of the Anorectal Region
- The internal anal sphincter is a continuation of the circular muscle coat of the rectum.
- The outer muscle coat of the rectum is separate from the internal anal sphincter.
Anal Continence
- Intact neurological pathways are necessary to maintain anal continence.
- The resting tone of the anal sphincter is a reflection of internal sphincter activity.
Anorectal Abscesses and Fistulae
- Anorectal abscesses can be a manifestation of a generalised disease.
- Anal fissure may be an underlying cause of anorectal abscesses.
- Fistula-in-ano may be treated with lateral anal sphincterotomy.
- Operation is the preferred treatment for fistula-in-ano.
- Anal dilatation may be tried as a treatment option.
