Abstract
OR many years there has been difference of opinion among surgeons and some proctologists concerning the treatment of anorectal abscesses. One school of thought teaches simple incision and drainage of an abscess followed by a period of waiting before fistulectomy. The other school suggests primary fistulotomy if the abscess is simple or if the tract is superfmial. It is the purpose of this paper to report a series of 100 consecutive anorectal abscesses treated in each instance by primary fistulotomy in an effort to achieve a base line for further studies.
