<![CDATA[Perianal fistula is a condition where a cavity forms in the area around the rectum and fills with pus. Perianal fistula is an anorectal disorder that arises due to obstruction of the anal crypts. If left untreated perianal fistula can lead to serious complications such as perineal gangrene and sepsis.
