Fistula-in-ano is a common challenging condition in proctology, requiring precise surgical management to minimize recurrence and preserve sphincter function. The Ligation of the Intersphincteric Fistula Tract (LIFT) procedure has developed as a sphincter-sparing technique with favorable outcomes.
We present a video aiming to educate surgeons with practical points to refine their LIFT technique and improve patient outcomes. This video provides a step-by-step demonstration of the LIFT procedure, highlighting essential tips and tricks to optimize success. Significant steps include patient selection, preoperative assessment, intraoperative techniques such as proper tract identification and secure ligation, and postoperative care.
By mastering these refinements, surgeons can optimize results, reduce recurrence, and improve patient quality of life.
