Abstract
Anorectal procedures are associated with significant morbidity and include complications of the perineum, which can cause substantial difficulty for the patient. Prevention of perineal complications is key, but many anorectal procedures are performed in difficult situations such as large bulky tumors or inflammatory bowel diseases. In this review, the authors outline many of the complications encountered following both simple and complex anorectal procedures while highlighting best evidence for treatment.Entities:
