Overview
Historical Perspective
- In 1880, Herman and Desfosses described the anal glands within the internal sphincter, sub-mucosa and their opening into the anal crypts and demonstrated that the infection of these glands and the spread of the infection through the intersphincteric space can result in the formation of a anorectal abscess.[1]
- Tucker and Hellwig, provided evidence that the initial infection occurs in the anal ducts allowing the infection to spread from the anal lumen into the anal canal wall.[1]
- In 1900, Goodsall found a rule of thumb that uses the location of fistula for the treatment of fistula.[2]
