Pitfalls
- Treating significant anorectal abscesses with antibiotics rather than incision and drainage will be unsuccessful and will delay definitive management.
- Failing to investigate patients aged 40 years or more with PR bleeding will miss anorectal carcinomas/malignancy.
- Beware the patient with rectal pain and no apparent abnormality; they may have a serious deep abscess. a CT scan should be obtained.
- Recurrent anorectal conditions suggests an underlying systemic disease.
