title: Free graft foreskin anoplasty.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Reconstruction of a stenotic anal canal and repair of a stenotic perineal colostomy using a free graft foreskin.
  
  
  METHODS
  The use of free graft foreskin anoplasty was described by Freeman for the treatment of mucosal prolapse in pediatric patients. The original surgical technique was modified and employed in two adult patients for the reconstruction of the anal region.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The graft, in both cases, took well with a satisfactory functional and morphological recovery of the anal canal.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Free graft foreskin anoplasty, has proved to be an effective solution to stenosis in the anal canal following major local surgery.
