title: [Mucosal flaps in the treatment of anal fistula].
abstract: Results in the treatment of transsphincteric et suprasphincteric fistulae have been greatly improved with the use of mucosal sliding flaps. The aims of this surgical procedure are: division of the fistulous tract from the primary opening within the anal canal, closure of the primary opening to prevent any repermeabilisation of the tract, excision and curettage of fistulous tract without section of the sphincters. Technical details of this procedure and results achieved in the treatment of 30 consecutive cases are reported.
