BACKGROUND: The @entity9292 represent about 70% of perianal suppuration, with an estimated incidence of 1/10000 inhabitants per year and representing 5% of queries in coloproctology. AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of the interesphincteric ligation technique of the fistulous tract in the treatment of @entity9292 . METHODS: The records of eight @entity1 who underwent this technique, evaluating age, gender and presence of @entity322 were studied. Was named technical first-step the passage of @entity2708 thread to promote the correct individualization of the @entity292 and, as the second, the surgical procedure. RESULTS: Two @entity1 were @entity1 and eight @entity1 . The mean age was 42.8 years. Of these, seven (87.5%) had complete healing of the @entity292 ; six were cured only with this procedure and one required additional operation with simple fistulotomy. Only one @entity1 developed @entity1241 which was documented by anorectal manometry. There were no deaths in this series. CONCLUSION: The interesphincteric ligation technique of the fistulous tract proved to be effective for the treatment of @entity9292 and should not be discouraged despite the occurrence of eventual @entity1241 .
