Popis: Peri-rectal abscesses are a common problem faced by the emergency general surgeon. Most cases are straightforward and require only simple incision and drainage. However, certain anatomical factors and patient-related comorbidities can increase the complexity of the management of peri-rectal abscesses. This chapter will describe the anatomy of the peri-rectal spaces where abscess can occur and provide a framework to help determine which situations can be treated with a simple incision and drainage and which situations may require further imaging evaluation or alternate approaches to drainage.
