Relevance Of Goodsall’s Rule In Fistula-In-Ano
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
: In the year 1900 David Henry Goodsall described a rule regarding relationship of ‘external opening to the tract’ in cases of Fistula-in-ano. According to Goodsall’s rule ‘if the external opening is anterior to the transverse anal line and within 3 cm. from the anal verge, the internal opening will be in straight radial line. But, if the external opening is behind the transverse line or more than 3 cm. from the anal verge, the internal opening will be at the posterior midline of the anal canal.’In such cases the tract will be a tortuous one.We tried to justify his postulation by analyzing about 70 patients of fistula-in-ano.
