Core Tip	Recurrent anal fistulas represent a unique challenge to general and colorectal surgeons. They are usually associated with high risk of re-recurrence and fecal incontinence. The risk factors for recurrence of anal fistula after surgery include preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors. Thorough assessment of recurrent anal fistulas is crucial before planning treatment. Endoanal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging are the most widely used modalities for the assessment of recurrent anal fistulas. Treatment of recurrent anal fistula should address the cause of recurrence, extirpate the entire fistula tract, ensure adequate drainage of sepsis and at the same time preserve the anal sphincters and continence.
