At present, surgical treatment is effective for anal fistulae, but the formation of fistula is different due to individual difference, consequently leading to a limited efficacy of surgical treatment. TCM has recently shown its unique advantages in accelerating the wound healing after anal fistula surgery, but the standards for syndrome differentiation of anal fistulae are still in deficiency. Thereby, this article mainly explored the key points of common syndromes, TCM nursing methods and health guidance of anal fistulae, in order to further develop the advantages of TCM and standardize related nursing management .展开更多
