Fistula Pararectal

Fistula pararectal lat. fistula - pathological condition, which is characterized by the presence of necrotic processes and foci of infection in the rectum; wall abscess with a tunnel to the skin outside the intestine (direct) or the internal organs (latticed, "perineal" fistula).

The anus can be opened in several places: - at the perineum (in the perianal area); - in the chest or neck; - under the mammary gland.

Abscesses in diseases that accompany intestinal afflictions (appendicitis, colitis, etc.). They form in chronic inflammation of the stool, anus and left portion of the colon. Appearance of an abscess in this anatomic area often leads to fatal consequences, since it is very difficult to clean it, especially in cases of obstruction.

A pararectal fistula is a pathological passage through the wall of the rectum or perineum, into the thickness of the subcutaneous fatty tissue. Most often, the appearance of a fistula is associated with surgical interventions on the pelvic organs and lower rectum. Violation of tissue integrity can appear after various operations in the pelvic area, as well as after hemorrhoidectomy.

Para-rectal fistula can be incomplete or complete. An incomplete fistula is accompanied by the presence of a skin defect in the perineal area and the entrance to the anal canal. The skin defect may be filled with fat or pus. In this case, the disease is called incomplete fistula. The pus that accumulates in the outlet is dangerous because inflammation develops due to flora entering the blood through these channels and spreading the infection throughout the body. If infection gets into the fistula canal, fecal incontinence may occur. If the fistula does not heal, the body’s immunity decreases and a chronic fistula develops. Symptoms: the presence of a round canal with
