Pelvic floor disorders treatments

Anorectal fistulas start with infection of the anal glands at or near the posterior midline. The infection extends superiorly between the longitudinal muscle and external sphincters and penetrates the levator ani to form an abscess in the supralevator space between the levator ani and the pelvic fascia, after which it perforates into the rectum. A satisfactory technic for the cure of this condition is outlined.
