Grade 1

Simple linear intersphincteric fistula (single tract penetrating the internal sphincter to run between internal and external sphincters and exit the perineum, with no secondary extension or abscess).

CondutaCounts as a 'simple'/low fistula: generally amenable to laying-open (fistulotomy/fistulectomy) with low risk of incontinence, since no external-sphincter muscle is divided.
RiscoFavorable: grades 1-2 were associated with a satisfactory outcome, versus grades 3-5 (unsatisfactory, e.g. need for further surgery; P<0.001) in the cited series.

(P<0.001)'; simple/low-fistula fistulotomy principle from the same article.

Grade 2

Intersphincteric fistula with an intersphincteric secondary tract or abscess.

CondutaStill intersphincteric (no trans-sphincteric muscle involvement) but with a secondary tract/abscess that must be drained/laid open in addition to treating the primary tract; broadly grouped with the lower-risk fistulas for sphincter-sparing intent.
RiscoFavorable: grades 1-2 were associated with a satisfactory outcome (vs unsatisfactory for grades 3-5; P<0.001) in the cited series.

Grade 3

Simple (uncomplicated) transsphincteric fistula (tract crosses both the internal and external sphincters into the ischioanal fossa without secondary extension or abscess).

CondutaTrans-sphincteric tracts cross the external sphincter, so simple laying-open risks incontinence (>50% with the lay-open technique for complex disease); sphincter-preserving options (e.g. seton, advancement flap) are favored, the more so with the higher grades.
RiscoLess favorable: grades 3-5 were associated with an unsatisfactory outcome (e.g. need for further surgery), in contrast to satisfactory outcomes for grades 1-2 (P<0.001) in the cited series.

Management/outcome: same article — incontinence '>50%' with laying-open of complex fistulas, and 'grades 3-5 were associated with unsatisfactory outcome ... (P<0.001)'.

Grade 4

Transsphincteric fistula with an associated secondary tract or abscess (a more complicated transsphincteric process), typically extending into the ischioanal/ischiorectal fossa.

CondutaComplex fistula: laying-open is avoided (incontinence in >50% of cases); managed with sphincter-preserving and/or staged techniques (non-cutting seton, mucosal advancement flap) plus drainage of the secondary tract/abscess.
RiscoUnfavorable: grade 4 falls in the grades 3-5 band associated with an unsatisfactory outcome / need for further surgery (vs satisfactory for grades 1-2; P<0.001) in the cited series.

Management/outcome: same article — complex fistulas need sphincter-preserving/staged surgery (lay-open incontinence '>50%') and 'grades 3-5 ... unsatisfactory outcome ... (P<0.001)'.

Grade 5

Supralevator and/or translevator disease (a complicated fistula/abscess with a supralevator or translevator component, extending above the level of the levator ani).

CondutaMost complex group: requires sphincter-preserving and often staged/specialist surgery (seton, advancement flap, treatment of the supra/translevator component) with imaging-guided planning; simple laying-open is contraindicated given the high incontinence risk.
RiscoMost unfavorable: grade 5 lies in the grades 3-5 band associated with an unsatisfactory outcome / need for further surgery (vs satisfactory for grades 1-2; P<0.001) in the cited series.
