ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to determine whether primary fistulotomy should be performed at the time of incision and drainage of anorectal abscesses and what% age of patients would develop fistula-in-ano or recurrent abscess. The record of 77 patients was reviewed who underwent incision and drainage of anorectal abscesses. Out of 77 patients, thirteen [16%] developed recurrent abscesses and 26 [34%] developed persistent fistulain-ano, with combined recurrence rate of 51%. This supports the policy of fistulotomy in the second sitting especially to prevent any complications and also of the fact that 59% would not need it
