CHIEF COMPLAINT:
A 46 year old male patient who is a farmer by occupation residing in Cooch Behar district of West Bengal came to the OPD with a complaint of recurrent pus discharge from the perianal region since 10 years.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:
The patient was apparently asymptomatic 16 years ago. Then he developed a swelling (abscess) in the perianal region associated with pain for which he went to the hospital and was treated conservatively with medication and the abscess was treated.After 2 months he again developed abscess in the same region for which he went to the hospital and had undergone a surgery( Drainage of abscess).
After the surgery, he was asymptomatic for about 5 years then he developed abscess on the surgical site.He was again treated conservatively each time he developed the abscess in the past 10 years( for about 20 times) and was also advised sitz bath.Later 6 months back he went to the hospital with the same problem and was advised an MRI ( MR fistulogram) in which he was found to have fistula seen in both sides of anal canal.As the problem was recurring frequently for the past 10 years and subsiding after conservative treatment the patient came to the OPD on 4 of July where he was examined and was referred to the surgery department for further consultation.
