Cryptoglandular fistula is one of the common anal diseases requiring surgical treatment. Various surgical techniques have been introduced; however, there is no known standard technique. Coring-out fistulectomy is a surgical technique that accurately resects only the fistula tract. However, only a few cases of this procedure have been reported. We aimed to analyze the surgical outcomes of coring-out fistulectomy for cryptoglandular anal fistulas.
