Anorectal emergencies

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Benign anorectal emergencies are among the most commonly encountered surgical emergencies in the acute care setting. Although nearly all anorectal emergencies are benign in nature, and rarely life threatening, the severity of pain often demands the most immediate attention. This chapter reviews the acute presentations of fissure, hemorrhoids, abscess, fistula, and anorectal trauma. In order to fully appreciate the nature of these disease processes, and the most appropriate therapies, a review of basic anorectal anatomy is required.
