Version: 3 Date: 11 Dec 2022
Reviewer's report:
The authors have  reflected the regional data on the subject .
The following suggestions are offered for enhancing the manuscript:
1. The language requires correction throughout the manuscript
2. The discussion seems to be  inadequate . It needs to be written with more discussion of relevant
work on the same subject. the following maybe added and discussed:
a.  Almeida IS, Jayarajah U, Wickramasinghe DP, Samarasekera DN. Value of three-
dimensional endoanal ultrasound scan (3D-EAUS) in preoperative assessment of fistula-in-ano.
