In our cases disabling anal stenosis was for last 1 year following sclerotherapy of haemorrhoids leading to severe anal stenosis with diaphragmatic ring like annular stenosis. A formal Y-V anoplasty was performed which relieved the patients of their symptoms leading to satisfactory bowel movements.
