AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of the interesphincteric ligation technique of the fistulous tract in the treatment of anal fistula. METHODS: The records of eight patients who underwent this technique, evaluating age, gender and presence of incontinence were studied. Was named technical first-step the passage of cotton thread to promote the correct individualization of the fistula and, as the second, the surgical procedure. RESULTS: Two patients were men and eight women. The mean age was 42.8 years. Of these, seven (87.5%) had complete healing of the fistula; six were cured only with this procedure and one required additional operation with simple fistulotomy. Only one patient developed fecal incontinence which was documented by anorectal manometry. There were no deaths in this series. CONCLUSION: The interesphincteric ligation technique of the fistulous tract proved to be effective for the treatment of anal fistula and should not be discouraged despite the occurrence of eventual fecal incontinence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0102-67202014000200004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,7]],"date-time":"2014-07-07T17:13:25Z","timestamp":1404753205000},"page":"101-103","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Effectiveness of the ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract (LIFT) in the treatment of anal fistula: initial results"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Sergio Danilo Tanahara","family":"TOMIYOSHI","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos Henrique Marques DOS","family":"SANTOS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"issue":"40","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6805","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v19.i40.6805","article-title":"Ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract: What is the evidence in a review?","volume":"19","author":"Vergara - Fernandes O","year":"2013","journal-title":"World J Gastroenterol."},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1337","DOI":"10.1007\/s10350-005-0055-3","article-title":"Practice parameters for the treatment of perianal abscess and fistula-in-ano (revised)","volume":"48","author":"Whiteford MH","year":"2005","journal-title":"Dis Colon Rectum"},{"issue":"Issue 1","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"PP 61","DOI":"10.9790\/0853-1116163","article-title":"Lift Technique for Fistula in ANO with Redefined Criteria - A Step towards Better Outcome","volume":"Volume 11","author":"Huda T","year":"2013","journal-title":"IOSR Journal"},{"issue":"4","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"417","DOI":"10.1007\/s10151-011-0769-2","article-title":"Video-assisted anal fistula treatment (VAAFT): a novel sphincter-saving procedure for treating complex anal fistulas","volume":"15","author":"Meinero P","year":"2011","journal-title":"Tech Coloproctol."},{"issue":"3","key":"ref5","first-page":"581","article-title":"Total anal sphincter saving technique for fistula- in- ano; the ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract","volume":"90","author":"Rojanasakul A","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Med Assoc Thai"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"237","DOI":"10.1007\/s10151-009-0522-2","article-title":"LIFT Procedure: a simplified technique for fistula in ano","volume":"13","author":"Rojanasakul A","year":"2009","journal-title":"Tech coloproctol."},{"issue":"4","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"413","DOI":"10.1007\/s10151-011-0779-0","article-title":"Ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract (LIFT) to treat anal fistula: early results from a prospective observational study","volume":"15","author":"Sileri P","year":"2011","journal-title":"Tech Coloproctol"},{"issue":"No. 1","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"32","DOI":"10.21608\/ejsur.2013.366753","article-title":"LIFT TECHNIQUE FOR FISTULA-IN-ANO","volume":"Vol. 32","author":"Makhlouf G.","year":"2013","journal-title":"Egyptian Journal of Surgery"}],"container-title":["ABCD.
