[Late results of surgery in 107 patients with anorectal fistulas (author's transl)].
Results are reported of 107 patients, which had been operated upon from 1969-1975 at the Innsbruck University Department of Surgery, because of anorectal fistulas. The standard procedure was splitting of the fistula and ample excision of the walls of the fistula down to the skin. This procedure yielded satisfactory results in 74% of all cases. Fistulas penetrating the musculus levator ani were excised below this muscle respectively extracted, whereas the part of the fistula duct reaching above this muscle was left and scratched out cautiously.
