Complex anal fistula (CAF) is a challenging anorectal condition. Although numerous treatments for its management have been proposed, none is ideal. Herein, we investigated the clinical efficacy of video-assisted modified ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract (LIFT) in comparison with the incision-thread-drawing procedure for Parks type II anal fistulas. Methods. Male and female adult patients with Parks type II anal fistula who were randomized to receive one of two procedures in the Anorectal Surgery Unit of the Affiliated People\u2019s Hospital of Ningbo University: video-assisted modified LIFT (test group, 30 cases) or incision thread drawing (control group, 30 cases). Healing and recurrence, postoperative pain, and postoperative autonomous anal control ability were compared. Results. In the test group, the pain scores were significantly lower ( P = .001) and wound healing was faster ( P = .001). However, there were no marked differences between groups in operative efficacy or postoperative infection rate (all P &gt; .05). We followed all the patients for more than 18\u00a0months, with the test group having lower Jorge\u2013Wexner incontinence ( P = .005) and fecal incontinence (FI) severity index ( P = .000) scores. No significant difference in recurrence ( \u03c7\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    = .351, P = .554) or healing ( \u03c7\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    = 1.071, P = .301) rate was found between the 2 groups. Conclusions. We established that video-assisted modified LIFT is superior in repairing Parks type II anal fistulas, with less trauma, quicker recovery, and better anal function.\n
