Abstract
This article provides a current overview on clinical anatomy, pathophysiology, workup and surgical management of anorectal abscesses. Based on the three-dimensional nature of anorectal abscesses, a novel treatment-based classification is proposed. It examines the basis of a philosophic shift from simple drainage to concomitant definitive treatment of abscesses and their underlying primary fistulous trajectories. Complications are discussed specifically in this context.Entities:
