Introduction: Fistula-in-ano is a relatively common benign disease of the anorectal region, which may pose considerable complications in terms of surgery, as this disease has the propensity to recur and may be accompanied by postoperative wound healing. Surgical therapy can be considered the key in the management, and surgery involves fistulectomy or fistulotomy as a part of surgical treatment. Nevertheless, due to the fear of slow healing of the wound and acquiring infection because of common methods, some other methods have been explored, and some have been suggested to be defined as the process of marsupialization, which could allow decreasing the size of the open wound and stimulate its recovery quicker.

Pregnancy in women with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) carries elevated risks, including prematurity, hemorrhage, and maternal morbidity, posing significant anesthetic challenges. We present the case of a 36-year-old woman with classical EDS (cEDS) and multiple comorbidities, including postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, bronchial asthma, congenital adrenal hypoplasia, and chronic venous thrombosis, who underwent an elective cesarean section. A multidisciplinary team developed a comprehensive perioperative plan featuring ultrasound-guided spinal anesthesia, extended post-anesthesia observation, and coordinated recommendations from cardiology, hematology, endocrinology, pulmonology, and other specialties.
