Abstract
The successful treatment and understanding of fistula-in-ano requires knowledge of the anatomy of the anal canal, the pelvic musculature and the pathogenesis of fistula-in-ano. Sir Alan Parks made a number of contributions to our understanding of this problem, in the classification and pathogenesis of fistula-in-ano and in particular the importance of sepsis in the intersphincteric plane
