SESSION: ANORECTAL FISTULA & ANAL FISSURE
MRI is the best diagnostic strategy for anorectal fistula
I prefer endoanal ultrasound, of course
VAAFT and FiLaC: what can we expect?
What do we talk about when we talk about LIFT?
Flap (flap advancement): how to optimize the result
Setons: where are we going to?
Technique and effectiveness of using botulinum toxin for anal fissures
Anal sphincterotomy: when to indicate and how to perform it
Discussion
