Various techniques of strictureplasty have been reported in the published literature. Strictureplasty has been shown to be a safe and efficacious technique that is comparable to bowel resection for stricturing Crohn's disease. This technique spares bowel length and puts the Crohn's disease patient at a lower risk of developing short bowel syndrome with repeated resections.

The nonconventional strictureplasty techniques were noninferior to the conventional strictureplasty procedures with respect to all prespecified outcomes.

We describe a novel technique to treat anal stenosis by reconstructing the anal canal by the use of a full-thickness skin graft from the abdominal wall. This treatment was successfully applied in our institution and showed positive results.
