Care of patients with anal fistulas may be quite complex including diagnosis and plans for management beginning with anorectal abscess. Imaging studies have been advanced in the recent decade and diagnostic aids will need to be included. Anal Fistula: Principles and Management is designed to provide a comprehensive and state of the art review of major issues specific and related to the treatment of anal fistulas. An important section of the book covers the large number of alternative procedures which have been developed in the last two decades. Needless to say none of these procedures have been uniformly successful otherwise there would be no need for all the different operations. Each alternative procedure is addressed, benefits discussed and the most up-to-date results included. Other important chapters cover the causes and failure of treatment and operations for fistulas. Also included is a Cochrane Review of all available randomized controlled trials with levels of evidence culled from the literature. §Anal Fistula: Principles and Management fills a void in available texts on a subject matter very commonly encountered by surgeons, physicians and specialists. §
