If you don’t do the eradication surgery, the fistula will be more and more, and then form complex anal fistula or high complex anal fistula. Therefore, after the clinical drainage surgery, the eradication surgery is usually done.
The purpose of perianal abscess eradication surgery is to remove the inner mouth of the perianal abscess and infected tissues, which can avoid the formation of anal fistula in later stages, and help the recovery, because perianal abscess drainage surgery is only a simple incision of the pus head area, to play the role of drainage, control the condition, can not remove the inner mouth and the infected tissues, and most of the later formation of anal fistula, which led to recurrent episodes.
