ABSTRACT
Anal stenosis represents a rare post hemorroidectomy complication which is difficult to manage. We report a series of eight cases, five male and three female, aged 29 to 67 years old, through a period of 12 years, in whom anal stenosis occurred 2 to 16 months after hemorroidectomy, which was of pedicular type in 5 cases, circular in one case and of a non precise type in 2 cases. We performed three sphincterotomy with anoplasty, two dilatations associated with lateral sphincterotomy, one Bellan's anoplasty and an Y-V flap's anoplasty. All our patients regained their proper anal diameter, with amelioration of the discriminatory sensibility, the medium recurrence time was three years and half [maximum 9 month and 7 years]. The anoplasties provide good results. The best treatment is prophylaxis done by choosing the safety technic and respecting the rules of hemorroidectomy
