Ligation of fistulous tract in intersphincteric layer (Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract – LIFT) – is a new method of surgical treatment of trans- and extrasphincter fistulas. It is obviously important to estimate LIFT results according to original experience and literature data.Material and methods. LIFT technique is described. Overall 19 patients were operated: men – 11, women – 8, mean age 48±13 years (26 to 74 years).
