MANAGEMENT OF ANORECTAL ABSCESS IN CRYPTOGLANDULAR DISEASE

LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

This scientific article addresses cryptoglandular disease, with a specific focus on anorectal abscess, a common and potentially serious condition that requires urgent attention and appropriate medical intervention. Cryptoglandular disease refers to an infectious process that develops in the anorectal glands, generally resulting in an abscess and, if left untreated, a fistula. Anorectal abscess is an acute complication of cryptoglandular disease, described by inflammation and accumulation of pus in the tissues around the anus and rectum. This article highlights the importance of early recognition of the signs and symptoms of anorectal abscess, which include intense, severe pain, swelling, and fever. Initial treatment usually consists of surgical abscess surgery, which can be performed on an outpatient basis or in a hospital setting, depending on the severity and extent of the infection. The importance of appropriate post-drainage management, including local wound care, specific analgesia and possibly antibiotic therapy, especially in complicated cases, is emphasized. Furthermore, the article highlights the need for careful monitoring to avoid long-term complications such as the formation of anorectal fistulas. The article in question is used from the Theoretical Reference, through a bibliographical review on the subject, collecting as much data as possible, from a general perspective, research on the topic was carried out through studies of articles, literary works and an analysis of research and facts. Finally, the work provides a comprehensive overview of cryptoglandular disease in the emergency department, with a focus on anorectal abscess, highlighting the importance of early identification, accurate diagnosis and appropriate management to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the risk of complications.
