The study was conducted on 164 patients who underwent LIFTin the Fourth unit of Department of General Surgery, Chengalpattu Medical College
Hospital from Jan 2019 to Dec 2019. The aim of the study was to evaluate effectiveness of ligation of intersphincteric stula tract (lift) in anal
stulas”. The study was conducted by performing LIFTamong 164 patients after satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
In this study, Fistula in ano was more common among the male population with mean age group being the third and the fourth decade. Postoperatively, there was minimal signicant development in wound infection. As a consequence, the stay in the hospital was reduced and so the
overall expenditure for patients is decreased. To summarize, the ligation of the intersphincteric stula tract technique for stula in ano appears to be
effective, safe and easy to perform with encouraging early outcomes.
