      abstract = {This volume comprehensively describes the anatomy,  pathophysiology, diagnostics, and modalities of treatment  of one of the most complex and debated clinical conditions  in coloproctology: anal fistulas and abscesses. It also  debates current controversies and presents the best  approaches based on the authors clinical expertise.  Providing an in-depth understanding of the anal canal  anatomy and surrounding area, it enables readers to manage  anal sepsis and avoid excessive damage, in particular to  the anal sphincters. Further, the book presents insights  into the pathophysiological processes (in cryptoglandular  and Crohns disease) causing abscess and fistula, which have  a significant impact on the management of these conditions.  It also discusses diagnostic assessments crucial for  selecting the optimal surgical technique and offers  guidance on the timing. Lastly, it assesses the pros and  contras of the various surgical procedures, evaluating the  possible outcome in terms of both therapeutic success and  detrimental effects on the anorectal functions. As such it  is a valuable resource for all physicians involved in the  management of anal fistulas and abscesses  (coloproctologists, general surgeons, gastroenterologists,  radiologists).},
