Abstract
Anal fistula is a complicated medical condition that poses a unique challenge in treatment due to its intricate anatomy and high recurrence rates. However, India’s rigorous research in this domain has been transformative, with several groundbreaking innovations and discoveries. This review aims to shed light on India’s outstanding contributions to anal fistula management and treatment, potentially reshaping the way we approach this ailment. A review of the last 10-year articles focused on the various novel aspects of anal fistula was performed using papers obtained from electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Scopus. The search was restricted to articles published in the English language, and the search terms included “anal fistula,” “fistula-in-ano,” “MRI,” “tuberculosis,” and “sphincter-sparing.”
