How Is An Anul Fistula In An Infant Diagnoised?

My grandson is 8 weeks old and has been diagnosed with an anul fistula. I am concerned because there is Spina Bifida Occult in my family and I want to be certain that the diagnosis is correct. He is probably going to have an operation next week. Should he have a scan first. Thank you
