      Intersphincteric Fistula Tract.

AB  - CONTEXT: The surgical management of fistula-in-ano is still debatable and no 
      clear recommendations have been made available until now. The present study 
      analyses the results of ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract (LIFT) 
      technique in treating fistula-in-ano in particular with recurrence, healing time, 
      and continence status. AIMS: LIFT in the management of patients of fistula-in-ano 
      of cryptoglandular origin. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: Prospective study. MATERIALS AND 
      METHODS: This is a prospective study of 52 patients admitted from September 2012 
      to August 2014. Patients were managed with LIFT technique and results of LIFT 
      technique were compared with other studies in terms of recurrence rate, 
      incontinence rate, and other postoperative complications. RESULTS: A total of 52 
      patients were studied. Median follow-up was 24 weeks. Primary healing was 
      achieved in 32 (71.11%) patients. Thirteen patients (28.88%) had a recurrence. No 
      patient reported any subjective decrease incontinence after the procedure. 
      CONCLUSIONS: LIFT technique is simple and easy to learn. With this method 
      fistula-in-ano could be easily treated even at primary health care level. LIFT 
      technique is a simple and novel modified approach for the treatment of 
      fistula-in-ano with rapid healing rate and without any resultant incontinence.
