- Abstract
The article presents a meta-analysis which determined the merits of drainage alone versus primary sphincter-cutting procedures for anorectal abscess-fistula. Several trials were considered suitable for meta-analysis. There was no evidence that simple drainage or sphincter-cutting procedure is better in the treatment of anorectal abscess-fistula.
