This presentation discusses the diagnosis and management of anorectal abscesses. Key points include:
- Anorectal abscesses typically present with perianal pain, swelling, and drainage and are usually caused by a cryptoglandular infection.
- Differential diagnoses depend on associated symptoms and may include hemorrhoids, fistulas, or Crohn's disease.
- Evaluation involves examination, blood tests, and imaging studies.
- Treatment is early surgical drainage of the abscess to prevent complications like fistula formation or impairment of sphincter function. Postoperative care involves antibiotics, pain relief, and follow-up to monitor for healing or complications.

Dear viewers,
• Greetings from “Surgical Educator”
• Because of the popular demand by viewers of the YouTube channel “Surgical Educator”, I have decided to create and upload videos on common surgeries.
• I have already uploaded videos on open and Laparoscopic Appendicectomy, Thyroidectomy, Modified Radical Mastectomy and open and
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
• In this video today, I have discussed Open Inguinal Hernia Repair.
• However, these videos are not real surgeries but the theoretical aspect of operative surgery like going through an atlas of operative surgery.
• Along with these videos, I recommend you to watch real operative surgery videos as well and I will give a link for each surgery in the end of the video as end-cards, which I think will be very useful.
• This will give a very good opportunity for the surgical trainees to mentally rehearse various surgical steps in a sequential manner prior to actual surgery. You can watch the video in the following links:

Kshar Sutra Therapy - The Best Treatment for Anal Fistula, Anal Fissures, Hemorrhoids and Pilonidal Sinus
What Is Pilonidal Sinus Disease (PNS)
A pilonidal sinus (PNS) is a small cyst or abscess that occurs in the cleft at the top of the buttocks. A PNS usually contains hair, dirt, and debris. It can cause severe pain and can often become infected. If it becomes infected, it may ooze pus and blood and have a foul odor. A PNS is a condition that mostly affects men and is also common in young adults. It’s also more common in people who sit a lot, like cab drivers.
What Are the Causes of Pilonidal Sinus Disease
The exact cause of this condition is not known, but its cause is believed to be a combination of changing hormones (because it occurs after puberty), hair growth, and friction from clothes or from spending a long time sitting. Activities that cause friction, like sitting, can force the hair growing in the area to burrow back under the skin. The body considers this hair foreign and launches an immune response against it, similar to how it would react when dealing with a splinter. This immune response forms the cyst around your hair.
Identifying a Pilonidal Sinus
You may not have any noticeable symptoms at first other than a small, dimple-like depression on the surface of your skin. However, once the depression becomes infected, it will quickly develop into a cyst (a closed sac filled with fluid) or an abscess (a swollen and inflamed tissue where pus collects).
The signs of an infection include:
1. Pain when sitting or standing
2. Swelling of the cyst
3. Reddened, sore skin around the area
4. Pus or blood draining from the abscess, causing a foul odor
5. Hair protruding from the lesion
6. Formation of more than one sinus tract, or holes in the skin
You may also experience a low-grade fever, but this is much less common.
How Can I Prevent Pilonidal Sinus Disease
You can prevent recurrence of PNS by washing the area on a daily basis with a mild soap, making sure all soap is removed, keeping the area completely dry, and avoiding sitting for long periods.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

8. Workup/Investigations :
• CBC with differential : may show leukocytosis
• Pus cultures
• Blood cultures
• confirmation by means of anal
ultrasonography, CT or MRI
• Plain x-rays little clinical significance
11. Types /classification
1. Perianal (60%) :of suppuration in an anal
gland
2. Ischorectal (30%): extension laterally through
the external sphincter
3. Submucous
4. Pelvirectal : situated between the upper
surface of the levator ani and the pelvic
penitoneum
5. Fissure abscess
13. Etiology
• Non specific :Cryptoglandular in origin.
• Specific :
1. Infection : E.coli , Staph. , strep. , Bacteroids
2. Irritation : Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, FB
3. Immune compromised state : DM,AIDS,malignancy
4. Others : TB, STDs, Radiation therapy,
14. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Originates from an infection arising in the
crypto glandular epithelium lining the anal
canal
The internal anal sphincter normally serves
as a barrier to infection passing from the gut
lumen to the deep perirectal tissues.
This barrier can be breached through the
crypts of Morgagni, which can penetrate
through the internal sphincter into the
intersphincteric space
15. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Once infection gains access to the
intersphincteric space, it has easy
access to the adjacent perirectal
spaces
Extension of the infection can
involve the intersphincteric
space 2–5%, ischiorectal space
20-25% , or even the
supralevator space 2.5%.
16. Epidemology
• May resolve itself
• third and fourth decades of life
• quite common in infants too
• Men are affected more frequently than
women 2:1 – 3:1
• relation between the formation of ano-rectal
abscesses and bowel habits
17. Management
• Early surgical drainage of the purulent
collection
• Primary antibiotic therapy alone is ineffective
• Any delay : augments tissue damage, may
impair sphincter continence function,
promote stricture and/or fistula formation
• Ability to drain an anorectal abscess depends
on patient comfort and on the location and
accessibility of abscess.
18. Drainage of perianal or superficial
abscesses
The gauze is removed after 24 hours, and the patient is instructed
to take sitz baths 3 times a day and after bowel movements.
Pus is collected and sent for culture. Hemostasis is achieved with
manual pressure, and the wound is packed with iodophor gauze.
A small cruciate incision is made over the area of fluctuancy in
close proximity to the anal verge.
19.
20. Post operative
• analgesics and stool softeners are prescribed
to relieve pain and prevent constipation.
• Antibiotic therapy when indicated– to cover
aerobes and anaerobes e.g. ciprofloxacin 500
mg PO 2x daily for 5 days
• follow up: 2-3 weeks for wound evaluation
and inspection for possible fistula-in-ano.
