Repair of anal stricture and mucosal ectropion by simple flap procedures.
A technique is described that has proven most effective in correction of postoperative anal stenosis. A modification of this technique also has proven effective in the treatment of symptomatic anal mucosal ectropion--a condition marked by pruritus and perianal soilage from mucosal weeping, usually associated with the Whitehead hemorrhoidectomy. The design of the flap allows primary closure of the donor site and tension-free flap inset with a robust flap blood supply.
