[Pathogenesis of postoperative complications of paraproctitis and measures for their prevention].

The inflammation of Morgagni crypts in the anal canal plays a great part in pathogenesis of acute paraproctitis and anal fistula. Such inflammation is often of diffuse character and in 18--19% of cases results in postoperative complications--acute and chronic cryptitis and subcutaneous microabscesses. Sanitation of Morgagni crypts (cryptotomy and cryptectomy) during radical operations for paraproctitis decreases the number of local postoperative complications and may be considered as one of the prophylactic measures against recurrent abscesses or anal fistulas.
