[Interpretation of key points in expert consensus on clinical diagnosis and treatment of perianal and perirectal abscess (2025 edition)].

Perianal and perirectal abscess is a common anorectal disease. In clinical practice, there are still some controversies regarding its clinical diagnosis, selection of surgical procedures, postoperative management strategies, and the treatment of special types of abscesses. The Anorectal Physician Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized more than 40 domestic experts in this field to formulate the Expert Consensus on Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Perianal and Perirectal Abscess (2025 Edition). The consensus was developed on the basis of summarizing the latest research progress at home and abroad, combined with evidence-based medical evidence, and through discussion and voting by domestic experts. This article interprets the key contents of the consensus to facilitate reference for peers in clinical practice.
