He's probably making "Fistula-in-ano plural with the final "s". You could type either four fistula-in-anos or four-fistula-in-ano. Also, I believe that fistula (being a Latin-based word) is the flural form of fistla (same spelling).

When it's a trademarked drug - I find the drug company's website - the actual maker (speller) of the drug...and THAT would be more correct than the books which are not always consistent.
