ABSTRACT
Anal stenosis may occur after anal surgery, causing significant discomfort and disability. Circular hemorrhoidectomies are the most common cause of anal strictures and can be associated with anal ectropions. Treatment options range from simple digital dilatation to more-complicated surgical procedures. The techniques are classified as advancement, island, or rotational flaps. Unilateral or bilateral flaps may be done depending on need. Each type of flap has an advantage in a particular setting and can be easily and safely used with good results. The success rate for most of the techniques approaches 90%.
