title: [Anus abscess. Value of systematic search of cases involving the primary orifice. Apropos of a series of 235 patients].
abstract: Based on our experience with 235 patients we emphasize the importance of examining, in the acute phase, the cryptic orifice and the trajectory of the fistula when treating anal abscesses. Fistulotomy can then performed in one or two operations. In specialized units, this attitude can give favourable results in nearly three-fourths of the cases and would avoid a large percentage of recurrent cases of suppuration.
