assestment Thrombosed external hemorrhoids Anorectal abscess

Thrombosed external hemorrhoids distended vascular tissue in the anal canal distal to the dentate line present with pain on standing, sitting or defecating usually develop over time and may result from straining with stools, childbirth, lengthy car trips or prolonged sitting, constipation or diarrhea

Management: elliptical excision

Anorectal abscess More common in M>F Peak incidence 30-50y/o Prevalent in immunocompromised like diabetics, IBD & HIV positive Recurrent perianal infection

Presentation and evalutation Perianal pain Fever Difficultyu voiding Bloody stool On PE, large fluctuant area is readily visible

40-50% - perianal 20-25% - ischiarectal 2-5% - intersphincter 2.5% - supralevator

Anatomy & physiology Abnormal fluid containing cavity in the anorectal rtegion Results from infection involving the glans surrounding the ana canal When stool accidentally enters the anal glands, the glands become infected and an abscess develops

Management Uncomplicated –Small incision close to anal verge is made & a malienkat drain in advanced into abscess cavity Complicated –Should perform in OR under anesthesia Antibiotics at least 2 weeks
