Popis: Benign anorectal diseases such as hemorrhoidal disease, anal fissure, anal pruritus, perianal abscess, and fistula are the most common ones. The aim of this study was to assess sexual function in patients after surgery for benign anorectal diseases. Sixty-one male patients with perianal fistulas, operated on at Department of General Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, completed a self-administered questionnaire including the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) score. The median IIEF score of the postoperative patients was significantly higher (24, range [10–25]) than that of preoperative patients (22, range [5–25]), p < .0001. Sexual function is significantly influenced by surgery for benign anorectal diseases.
