Abstract

Background: Perianal fistulas are difficult to treat. Several minimally invasive sphincter-sparing methods have been described with encouraging results.
Methods: A 48-year-old male patient with a transsphincteric fistula was operated using both FiLAC and LIFT techniques.
Results: successful treatment was witnessed as fistula closure within 3 weeks and absence of recurrence at 7 months follow-up
Conclusion: This is the first report of successful perianal fistula treatment using a combination of FiLAC and LIFT techniques
