A classification of fistula-in-ano
Abstract
A classification of anal fistulas is presented, which is the result of an analysis of 400 cases treated over the past IS years, based on the pathogenesis of the disease and the normal muscular anatomy of the pelvic floor. Four main types were found but numerous variations of each occur, which are described. It is hoped that this will alert the surgeon to the various complex situations that he may encounter.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
