empty. This is the least common type of hernia. It occurs mostly in women

78
Q

These splits in the tissue of the anal canal are caused by trauma. A swollen skin tag (“sentinel tag”) is often present below the fissure on the anal margin. They cause intense pain, itching, and bleeding.

A

Anal Fissure

79
Q

This occurs when the mucosa of the rectum protrudes out through the anal opening. It may involve only the mucosa
or the mucosa and the rectal wall

A

rectal Prolapse

80
Q

This congenital disorder is characterized by a small dimple or cyst/sinus that contains hair. It is located midline in the
sacrococcygeal area and has a palpable sinus tract.

A

Pilonidal cyst
