Results: 1) The mean age of the study patients is 39.74 11.92 years. 2) Grade IV fistula is common (26.2%) followed by Grade III (21.3%) and Grade II (21.3%) fistulas. Conclusion: Peri anal fistula is more commonly seen in men of age group 31 to 40 years with mean age of 39.74 +/- 11.92. Surprisingly, the most common type of Perianal fistulain our study population was G IV fistula (26.2%) followed by Grade III (21.3%) and Grade II (21.3%) fistulas.
