The post-operative pain decreased from 3.7 mean VAS on the 1st postoperative day\nto 0.1 mean VAS on 30th post-operative day. Early complications rate was 2.1%: urinary retention\naccounted for 1.8% of patients. 0.3%-of patients experienced postoperative bleeding and only one\nrequired reoperation. Late complications rate was 5.8%: anal stenosis, incomplete healing, and anal\nfissure were detected in 3.6%, 1.2%, and 1% of patients, respectively. The long term complications\nrate was 5.3%: anal fistula, soiling, perianal abscess, and recurrence were identified in 0.2%, 0.1%,\n0.3%, and 4.8% of patients,
