| Core Tip |
Magnetic resonance imaging and endoanal ultrasound are the most used procedures for the preoperative assessment of cryptoglandular anal fistula. A Delphi study was planned. The protocol and the study were approved by 11 international surgical, colorectal, and radiological societies. A Delphi survey achieved 85.7% consensus among radiologists and colorectal surgeons on the minimum dataset of information relevant for decision-making. A structured template (SMART) was developed to standardize imaging reporting. This template would help radiologists and surgeons to report magnetic resonance imaging and endoanal ultrasound in a standardized manner useful for the treating surgeon. |
