Abstract :

 AIM: To evaluate the outcomes of ligation of intersphincteric fistulous tract (LIFT) technique in fistula in ano. METHOD: This prospective study was conducted from feburary 2013 to november 2014 in the department of surgery,at a tertiary care hospital of North India. A total of 26 patients diagnosed with fistula–in–ano after clinical and imaging studies. All the patients were admitted in hospital and operated under similar pre–operative, intra–operative and postoperative facilities.Data collected included patient`s demographic profile,medical history,duration of surgery,days of hospital stay,wound infection,healing time,preoperarive and postoperative continence,success and recurrence rates. RESULTS: The study involved 26 patients whose mean age was 41.5+13.7 years. . The mean average duration of surgery was 44.7+8 mins.Patients were kept on follow up for 6 months(24 weeks). No patient had any kind of fecal and flatus incontinence and had a success rate of around 84%. CONCLUSION: Ligation of intersphincteric fistulous tract (LIFT) technique has shown high success rate with no effect on continence and thus should be started as a main treatment modality in patients of fistula in ano.
