Treatment for<unk>  varies depending on the cause and extent of the<unk> , but often involves surgical intervention combined with antibiotic therapy. In some cases the<unk>  is temporarily covered, using a fibrin glue or plug. Catheters may be required to drain a<unk> . Surgery is often required to assure adequate drainage of the<unk>  (so that pus may escape without forming an abscess). Various surgical procedures are used, most commonly<unk> tomy, placement of a seton (a cord that is passed through the path of the<unk>  to keep it open for draining), or an endorectal flap procedure (where healthy tissue is pulled over the internal side of the<unk>  to keep feces or other material from reinfecting the channel). Management involves treating any underlying causative condition. For example, surgical treatment of<unk> e in Crohn's disease can be effective, but if the Crohn's disease itself is not treated, the rate of recurrence of the<unk>  is very high (well above 50%).
